About Us

Life After Burns is a registered non-profit organization located in the Greater Toronto Area. We strive to empower burn survivors, and their loved ones, and to provide lifelong support with navigating the challenges of a burn injury at any stage of recovery. We also extend support to medical professionals and firefighters with secondhand trauma, as well as members of the burn community across Canada. The organization serves to connect those whose lives are affected by burn trauma to each other and the burn community at large, as well as to health resources and services, which our advocacy work endeavors to ameliorate. 

We are committed to fostering an environment of equity, diversity, and inclusion. We acknowledge the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our members without judgement, and strive to ensure that our services, programs, and resources are accessible to everyone. We are dedicated to eliminating barriers to participation and empowering individuals to achieve their full potential. Together, we stand in solidarity with burn survivors, caregivers, and their loved ones, advocating for a world where every individual’s journey is honoured and supported.
