Empowering Young Women with Chronic Pain (20-35y)
Does this sound familiar? "My peers don't get it", "I don't know anyone my age who has chronic pain", "How do I socialize / date with chronic pain?", "How do I build a career?" " Can I manage a pregnancy? Take care of a baby?" This guided support group helps young women share their experiences, and work together to find ways to manage pain and engage in activities that are important to them - school, work, fun, dating, sex, parenting etc. 3rd Thursday of the month (4:30-6pm): February 20, March 20, April 17, May 15 ($100 / session).

Next session: April 4, 2024 (4-5:30pm). A new chronic pain diagnosis is confusing, overwhelming, stressful and scary. This session will help you understand your pain symptoms and triggers, take an active role on your health care team, and start building a treatment plan that fits your needs. We will help you identify your coping strengths, avoid coping strategies that make pain worse, and introduce you to new and effective pain management strategies. We will provide education, support, treatment recommendations, and self-help resources. Considering our Pain Management Group? This is an inexpensive "trial" of our treatment style!

Pain Management Group (10 sessions, $100/session)
Starting: March 25, 2025 (4:30 - 6 pm). Managing chronic pain requires difficult lifestyle changes & new coping skills. Are you struggling to make these changes on your own? Our intensive Pain Management Group helps you to master new skills – identifying symptom patterns and pain triggers, relaxation and stress management skills, minimizing emotional distress, modifying and pacing painful activities, preventing and coping with pain flare-ups etc. We help you to set goals, monitor your progress & stay on track. It is hard work, but research shows that cognitive behavioural pain management groups like ours are often more effective than pain medication.
