Living with chronic pain can be stressful, isolating and increase or lead to feelings of depression and anxiety.

Peer support groups offer compassion, understanding and validation by encouraging participants to share their experiences and draw comfort from being with others with lived experience.

If you live with chronic pain, you don't have to struggle alone.

Our Chronic Pain Peer Support group is a safe place to connect, learn and share insight with others who know how it feels to live with chronic pain.
