Despite severe damage to the Mental Health Hub, selectability’s local team has worked tirelessly to keep services running, and ensure vulnerable members of the community had access to essential support and services.
Recently the team celebrated new milestone: setting up the Mental Health Hub in Canegrowers Building (11–13 Lannercost Street) — and they’re settling in nicely!
Regional coordinator, Julie Ross, said that she was grateful for the support helping them quickly secure the new location: “It’s great to see our little community come together to make things happen,” said Julie.
“We deliver essential services to those in the community that need them most and to have the support of the community to help us do this means that we can get back to business as usual a lot faster.”
Julie thanks the Ingham community and reminds others that selectability is still operating, just out of a different location: “To celebrate the move, we’re throwing open our (temporary) doors to the whole community! Drop in on 23 April from 10:30am-12:30pm, meet the team, and discover the range of services and programs we offer."
Selectability will provide regular updates on the progress of repairs but in the meantime, if you have any questions about our services in the region, please don’t hesitate to contact the team or visit their website!
WHAT: Selectability's Open Day
WHEN: Wednesday 23 April, 10:30am – 12:30pm
