About Pain BC

Changing the Way Pain is Understood and Treated
Pain BC aims to enhance the well-being of all people living with pain through empowerment, care, education and innovation. This can't be done without changing the systems that people in pain rely on to live well. How do we do that?

Advocating to government to create a provincial pain action plan and working with them to create it.
Mobilizing people in pain to take action - for their own well-being and as champions for others who live with chronic pain.
Improving pain assessment and treatment by providing training and support to health care providers.
Working with rural and remote communities to build innovative new programs that make a difference in the lives of people in pain.
Taking action to address the overdose crisis and the role pain plays in it.
We know complex problems can't be solved by one group alone -- improving the lives of people in pain requires collective action. Pain BC brings together people in pain and their families, health care providers, other non-profit organizations, government, researchers, and businesses to make significant and lasting change.
