Mental health support services established after devastating 2022 floods in the Northern Rivers region are ceasing operations. The drop-in centres provided 18,500 hours of free counselling to residents grappling with trauma and recovery. Their closure leaves a gap in crucial mental health care for a community still reeling from the disaster. The centres were designed as a temporary response to the widespread psychological impact of the floods. Advocates express concern over the timing of the closures, citing ongoing needs within the affected communities. Details regarding future support options for residents have not been widely publicised. The initiative aimed to provide accessible, immediate assistance to those struggling with flood-related anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
