What is a Family Forum?
Family Forums bring families affected by a workplace tragedy together to share, network and, ultimately, heal. At this special event, spouses, parents, siblings and close friends gather to learn coping skills for grief, active listening skills, tips on how the occupational health and safety system works, self-care, and so much more.
Upcoming Family Forums – 2024
Threads of Life hosts three regional Family Forums across Canada.

“I came away with new coping methods and new friends and feel rejuvenated and look forward to the next family forum”
