2nd Annual Western Canada Family Forum
October 23, 2009 to October 25, 2009
This fall, Threads of Life will be hosting the 2nd Annual Western Canada Family Forum for family members who are living in the aftermath of a workplace fatality, life-altering injury or occupational disease. This event is a unique opportunity for families to come together and learn invaluable and much-appreciated tools to help them along their journey of healing.
“As much as it was emotionally draining, it was also encouraging, motivating and healing to meet others who share a similar path to ours,“ shared a family member after attending a forum.
Key highlights of the Forum include: a Reflections Ceremony to honour the families who have been impacted by a workplace tragedy; workshops and sessions with topics such as active listening skills, helping children with grief, families coping with a life-altering injury, widows and society’s expectations, men and grief and siblings and loss; and volunteer opportunities for families to support provincial injury prevention initiatives.
Time: Friday, October 23 at 3 pm to Sunday, October 25 at 1 pm
Venue: Delta Lodge
Location: Kananaskis, AB
