The Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support - Threads of Life is a national, registered charitable organization founded by family members to provide support for families living in the aftermath of a workplace fatality, life-altering injury or occupational disease. Threads of Life is dedicated to helping Canadian families along their journey of healing. Our mission is to help families heal through a community of support and to promote the elimination of life-altering workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths. Threads of Life provides families with one-on-one peer support, links to community resources and volunteer opportunities to help raise awareness about the serious impact of a workplace tragedy and its effect on families, workplaces and the community as a whole. Every eight hours in Canada, a worker dies as a result of a traumatic workplace tragedy. Threads of Life and its partners believe that injuries in the workplace are preventable.
