Pain Support Group
Living with chronic pain can feel isolating and overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it by yourself. The Pain Management Support Group, backed by the local Primary Care Network (PCN), offers a safe and supportive space to connect, learn, and develop with others who truly understand.
The PCN is offering a holistic approach to pain management, to ensure patients receive not just medical treatment through their GP, but also emotional, social, and practical support in the community.
Living with pain is not just about the physical discomfort; it can influence all aspects of your life; a person’s mental and emotional well-being, their ability to cope with life’s stresses, how well they sleep, as well as impacting their personal and work relationships.
What Is On Offer?
- Emotional Support from others who share your experience
- Practical Tips & Coping Strategies for managing pain day-to-day
- Expert Guidance – Our session leaders work closely with healthcare professionals including GP’s, Pharmacists, physiotherapists, and mental health experts.
- Educational Sessions on topics like understanding pain, mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and more
Why Join?
- Reduce isolation and connect with others who understand your journey
- Learn new strategies to manage and improve how you live with your pain
