RESEARCH PROJECT: FAMILY MEMBERS OF INJURED WORKERS WHO ARE (OR HAVE BEEN) OFF WORK FOR 3+ MONTHS

Posted On February 9, 2026

UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF WORKPLACE INJURIES OR ILLNESSES ON FAMILY MEMBERS

The Thunder Bay & District Injured Workers Support Group is partnering with Lakehead University to document the experiences of family members of injured workers.  Research has been done on the injured worker but we know there can be significant impacts on the whole family.

A number of focus groups (both virtual and in person) are planned over the next few months.  For those participating, thanks will be shown with gift cards  to major grocery stores.

Here is the link to register by completing a short survey- https://lakeheadhbs.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_elzrPw9BPBYHXj…
