We are located in the Greater Toronto Area, but we welcome people from all over the world.
Life After Burns is a place for burn survivors and their loved ones. We host events, virtual speaker sessions, in person meetups, yoga, workshops, and connect people to resources to provide a community and safe space to talk, listen, learn, and grow. We raise awareness about the importance of the inclusion of psychosocial care for burn survivors and their loved ones. Our goal is to inspire those whose lives have been impacted by burns to reach out for support and community.
Victoria has third degree burns over 20% of her body after an accident in 2002. She was just 9 when this happened. Over the years she hid her scars and struggled with the impact of this injury. She started Life After Burns when she realized there was a gap in the system after people left the hospital. There was a lack of community that she could turn to in her immediate geographical area. This is why she started Life After Burns, to bring others together with a similar lived experience. This has been life changing for her and she wants to continue to show the importance of seeking out support and the amazing benefits of peer support.
Connect. Heal. Grow.
