A work injury is usually totally unexpected. It is normal to feel
pretty overwhelmed. There are a lot of changes, and there is a lot
to learn. But fortunately, there are many support groups, lots of
resources, and a load of information out there for injured workers.
We invite you to check it out!
- The LifeQuilt
The LifeQuilt is a unique, permanent memorial dedicated to the thousands of young women and men who have been killed or injured on the job in Canada. It is a tapestry paying tribute to those who are woven together in life by a common thread - a workplace injury. Each year, over 60,000 young workers (between the ages of 15-24) are injured seriously enough to require time off work. Over the last two years, nearly 100 young workers have been killed as a result of hazardous working conditions. Help protect the future of young workers. Check out www.youngworkerquilt.ca or call 1-800-669-4939, ext. 458.
- Connect with other injured workers! Here's an opportunity to talk
