Meet Some of Our Amazing Volunteers

Our amazing volunteers have enabled depressionServices to remain open as a safe and supportive environment to provide a much needed service for people impacted by depression.  Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and experiences and every one adds great value to our organisation.  There have been many reasons throughout the history of the organisation why people have volunteered for depressioNet.
Here are some of their stories:

'DepressioNet has opened my mind to what is possible in life.  They are enthusiastic about what they do and are committed to providing the best service possible to their clients.  This has been a positive influence on my life and have found the experience to be both challenging and rewarding.'

'Being a business volunteer at depressioNet has been an exciting experience for me. For me, there is always good back-up and support. depressioNet really helped me learn, gain a lot for what I have been studying in university and build up a good hands-on experience base for my future career.  Thanks depressioNet for being a great support not only for volunteers like me but also all the hard work you are doing to help people impacted by depression.'
