"If the trauma from abuse is left unattended, it manifests in adult life in a range of psychological, developmental and social problems such as depression, self-harm, eating disorders and substance abuse," Ms.

Mullinar said.

Ms.

Mullinar said women who are given the chance to heal early in life could heal completely.

She said the program would be specifically targeted to young women, whose needs are found to differ from older women.

The $750,000 centre was built entirely through the generosity of Hunter property developer Graham Oborn, other businesses and supporters and named in honour of Mr.

Oborn's mother, Eva.

"All of us from time to time dissend into a private hell and feel we are alone, and we can bring people here and make them realise they are not alone," Mr.

Abbott said when addressing the large gathering.

He applauded the efforts of those involved in the project and said he was pleased the Australians had identified a problem and decided to do something about it.

Mayumarri does not receive government funding for its programs and relies on generous support from businesses and the community.

A ball is being held at Newcastle's Honeysuckle Markets from 7pm on March 25 to raise much needed funds for the running of the centre.

For tickets phone Rachel Perry on 0412 689 810.

Donations can also be made to "Mayumarri Trust", PO Box 361 Cessnock 2325 or at any branch of the Greater Building Society.
