Chronic Pain Support
Hello and welcome to the introduction of our chronic pain support programme. I expect that you are here because either yourself, a family member or a friend are living with a chronic pain condition. You will be aware that this is an integrated programme of support. In addition to the modules, you will have access to a range of additional resources including worksheets, information sheets and videos.
Furthermore, there will be opportunities for you to meet with myself in a live forum, where your questions, queries and dilemmas can be considered and explored. You will also have access to a private Facebook group.
This will become an invaluable source of support in which you will be able to connect with other people in a similar situation to yourself. This will become a source of friendships, support, inspiration, and continued motivation. At this point, it seems appropriate to set out the structure of this programme.
