Compassionate support for people of all ages affected and impacted by suicide.

At Tony’s Place we know the devastating effects of suicide and believe that no-one need navigate suicide loss alone.  

We provide a range of age-appropriate support options for adults, teens and children.

We support people to be empowered, informed, better able to cope with the impact and feel less alone in their grief.

How we work

At Tony’s Place we understand that everyone grieves differently and that each person will have unique support needs. This means that we tailor our support to each client’s specific needs. 

Based on our initial conversation, we will help you identify your needs and, together, create a support plan. This plan may involve the support from Tony’s Place and/or other support available in the community. We respect the importance of you choosing what feels most right for you.

Support options

We provide a range of support options including group programmes, information, education and resources, responsive to your specific needs.  All of our work is research-informed.
