Healing & Hope
Our Purpose
The purpose of Healing and Hope is to endeavour to relieve the suffering and provide practical comfort, assistance and
support to survivors of child sexual abuse and victims of trauma within our community.
We hope you will want to contribute to the success of this endeavour - to support your peers and others through in kind donations, offers of pro bono assistance, funding or simply offering a helping hand.
Support
Healing and Hope is a unique initiative that provides comfort and practical support to survivors of sexual abuse and victims of trauma within our community, both past and present. It will champion a fair and humane response to all individuals. Guidance, including direct input from survivors, their families and from many within the School community, has inspired and informed this new entity.
Members of the Geelong Grammar School community have faced significant challenges from hurt of the past. In recent years, the School has been working to provide an authentic response to survivors of sexual abuse.
Recognition
Geelong Grammar School Principal, Rebecca Cody, observed: ‘I have met with survivors and I am deeply sorry for their pain and suffering: to be sorry though, is not enough; complying with new legislation is not enough - we need to set an example and lead. We need to move forward by recognising the devastating impacts and effects of childhood sexual abuse and by never losing sight of the learnings from them’.
For survivors, for victims of trauma, for those struggling in challenging times - there are options for reaching out and finding support.
