Grace's Place

An initiative of the Homicide Victims Support Group (Aust) Ltd. Grace's Place is a world first trauma recovery centre for children and young adults that have been affected by homicide. Grace’s Place provides support in a safe place where children, teenagers and their families grieving the death of someone they love through homicide, can share their experiences, receive counselling, be involved in

therapeutic programs and learn life skills on how to survive the trauma without their loved one. Our Counsellors are experienced at working with younger members of the group and can provide support and counselling in our office, in your home or at school by prior arrangement. There are limited services and facilities available to assist children with their trauma, healing and recovery after a homicide. By having this specifically focussed facility we will be able to provide many services now lacking to the younger members of the HVSG. Children are often the unseen, unheard victims of these homicides. Grace's Place is named in honour of Grace Lynch, the mother of Anita Cobby and was one of the founding members of the HVSG. Grace was a gentle, caring woman who shared her life and loss with so many, becoming a mother to so many. Grace's Place is the beacon of hope where our young members can heal and survive.
