12 September: Depression Support Festival
Finally- after our (long) wait, we are on our Day 1 of the Support Team Festival! 
The featured team of the day is the Depression Support Team, led by our two awesome Support Room Mentors @MissZ and @Dillion on the adult side and @IrishRose2016 on the teens side! ^_^ They have been doing an amazing job organising all the weekly discussions and keeping watch over the Depression Support Rooms to bring a more safe and condusive place for members to seek support in group settings, as well as to seek emotional support and learning experiences through the weekly Depression Support Sessions. ^_^ A really big thank you to these wonderful leaders of the team for doing such an amazing job! :)
Of course, in our Depression Support Festival, they have been a great help putting their teams together to lead the discussions for today! We hope to see you attending these discussions and participate in all the awesome activities planned out for you! ^_^
