The Power Over Pain Portal hosts regular, frequent and interactive workshops covering a variety of relevant topics. You can register on their website or view their events calendar at https://portal.poweroverpain.ca/events
Living with chronic pain can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Pain can affect daily activities, relationships, work, sleep, and mental well-being, and it can sometimes leave people feeling isolated or misunderstood.
Support plays an important role in living well with chronic pain. Whether it comes from family, friends, healthcare providers, or peers with shared lived experience, feeling heard, understood, and believed can reduce feelings of isolation and help build resilience. While support does not take pain away, it can make the journey feel less overwhelming especially when you are joined or surrounded by people, like Power Over Pain, who understand where you are coming from and what a difficult battle living with chronic pain is.
