Connected by Pain

Medication isn't the only way to manage persistent pain. Pain Cafés are a non-judgemental, confidential and supportive safe space for people living with chronic pain, providing an environment for people to come together and talk about experiences of pain and how to manage it, We are not defined by our pain!

We share ideas, develop new tools, and engage in everyday discussions - rather than relying soley on medication, participants learn practical skillls to enhance their quality of life despite pain. The goal is to empower individuals to live well with pain by equipping them with effective coping strategies.

We have created a network of Pain Cafés to support you in your journey to a better quality of life. Pain Cafés offer a network of in-person, and online communities where people can meet together to share experiences and learn new skills and techniques. We hope for a future where people with pain can easily access support groups near to them, and online and feel less alone and have more fun and activity in their lives.
