Pain Self-Management

• Do you struggle with persistent pain?
• Do you feel like your pain is holding your life hostage?
• Do you find it difficult to talk about your pain?
• Do you feel isolated from your family and friends?

A People in Pain Peer-Led Pain Self-Management Education and Support Group can help you find answers to your questions.

• ​Living with persistent pain is HARD!!! It can be a full-time job, especially when you feel alone.
• ​Learn to self-manage your pain.
• Our peer led pain self-management groups use the Canadian Pain Toolkit Self-Management program as the basis for the educational segment at each meeting. Our trained peer leaders use brief action planning and SMART goal setting to help you learn to self-manage your pain. We can help you build and lead a strong support team, learn and practice self-management skills, add meaning and purpose back into your life and most importantly to regain the confidence to build your new normal
• Sharing the struggles and the solutions with other people who truly understand, in a safe environment, will help you reduce isolation, grieve the losses and gain an understanding of persistent pain and how you can take back control of your life.
