Toowoomba Depression Support Resource Centre About to Close - ABC Online (blog)


Toowoomba Depression Support Resource Centre About to Close


30 November 2012 , 9:09 AM by Belinda Sanders


Depression is officially the world's leading disability.


One in four people will suffer from depression at some point in their lives.


The Toowoomba Depression Support Network has been running for six years but tonight a special meeting has been called to at least downsize BUT also potentially close up the group.


The DSN's Resource Centre in Bell Street is certain to close after tonight's meeting.


It's a story that starts with the floods that hit Toowoomba in January 2011.. the water destroyed the group's clubhouse... since then members have dropped off because of exhaustion.


The Toowoomba Depression Support Network's President Clare Westaway...





The special members meeting will be held at the DSN Resource Centre in Bell Street tonight from 7.


The group needs more volunteers.. not only now but potentially in the future if the organisation can rebuild in 2014.
