It's an opportunity for those feeling anxious or traumatised by the fires to connect with others, to have counselling support or massage if desired or simply to share experiences with others. Quest's counsellors and therapists are donating their time to assist the community.
CEO Petrea King said the greatest gift you could give yourself, your children, your family and your community was the gift of your own good physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
"Our team at quest has extensive experience working with individuals and communities living with the aftermath of, or during, natural disasters," she said
Quest will be open as a drop-in centre for anyone in need of a chat, a cuppa or to meet up with others anytime between 9:30am and 5pm.
