There are so many children and adolescents in the region who have been abused, sexually assaulted or exposed to domestic violence, a counselling service had to expand.
Mackay Women’s Services executive director Linda-Ann Northey said they were adding two new consultant rooms after receiving support for more “desperately needed” children’s counsellors.
Ms Northey said they put together a wish list of play items that would become essential therapeutic tools and Ergon Energy Mackay answered the call.
Ergon program officer Kelly Arnold said staff personally donated some of the items but they also held a combined tradies and office staff barbecue fundraiser.
