...debate is probably going to go on." Whether the Thursday Girls continue is less certain. Funding from Melbourne University's School of Social Work - which pays the therapists' wages - will cut out at year's end, and the women's efforts to secure a new source have been fruitless. While they could continue to meet without professional guidance, they're convinced it wouldn't work as well.
