Luke's Place Support and Resource Centre for Women and Children
Luke’s Place’s mission is to work with women who have been subjected to abuse to support them and their children through the family law process. We provide women and their communities with specialized services, resources, and information about family law and woman abuse. Luke’s Place envisions a family law system that promotes healthy, safe families, living free from abuse and the threat of abuse. Luke’s Place was incorporated in December 2000 and opened its doors to begin service delivery in September 2003. Luke’s Place Support & Resource Centre for Women & Children is an award-winning non-profit centre of excellence devoted solely to improving the safety and experience of women and their children as they proceed through the complex family court system after fleeing an abusive relationship. We provide direct services to upwards of one thousand women and their children each year in Ontario and share our expertise with thousands of service providers across Ontario and Canada through training, resources, and mentoring. We work with academics to conduct research and collaborate widely to advocate for improved access to justice for women and their children. The Ministry of the Attorney General designed the Family Court Support Worker (FCSW) program based on our service delivery model and contracts Luke’s Place to train FCSWs and moderate their online resource hub.
