Luke’s Place is a unique resource centre for abused women and their children that provides free family law support services and guidance on how to stay safer through the legal process. It is a not-for-profit, charitable organization with varied professional and peer services available at 3 comfortable, accessible and confidential locations in Durham Region. Luke’s Place is named after a 3½ year old boy killed by his father in 1997. Luke’s mother had serious concerns about his safety with his father and had applied for supervised access through the family court. She was unsuccessful and Luke was killed by his father, who then killed himself, on his first unsupervised visit. Following Luke’s death the community came together to work towards making sure no other child would face a similar fate.
