Threads of Life is a national registered charity that provides
families suffering from a workplace fatality, life-altering
injury or occupational disease with the only one-on-one peer support
program in the world by trained Volunteer Family Guides.
These Volunteer Family Guides have also experienced their
own workplace tragedy so they understand what other
families are going through.
Threads of Life also provides families with opportunities to promote
injury prevention and accountability for workplace health and
safety by joining our Speakers Bureau or participating in
the annual 5K Steps for Life - Walking for Victims of
Workplace Tragedy event the first Sunday in May.
Families have identified
that these services help fill a gap in our country's social, health
and safety systems. Threads of Life is supported by a
network of volunteers from across the country who have been
personally touched by a workplace tragedy. Working with
provincial workers' compensation boards and governments,
Threads of Life assists
families by providing:
- a Family Support
Program which offers one-on-one peer support to family
members and friends who have suffered a workplace
tragedy
- links to professional
support services
- a support network to
those who have experienced similar pain and suffering;
- advisory support
regarding the workplace investigation and inquest
process;
- opportunities to
promote workplace injury prevention and awareness within
their own community.
Threads of Life members
believe there is a:
- Time to heal
- Time to speak
- Time to weave hope for
others
