About our Pain Education Sessions
Using this funding, this year Pain Concern is launching a Pain Education project. This is designed to empower individuals from early diagnosis to lead fuller lives despite chronic pain.
Our single, two-hour Pain Education Session is open to anyone experiencing pain for 12 weeks or more, including family members and employers. This interactive workshop provides participants with essential knowledge about pain and equips them with effective management strategies for long-term relief.
Participants will:
- Gain insights into their pain
- Learn stress management techniques
- Enhance their ability to enjoy life
- Improve their daily activities
