Changing how pain is understood and addressed
Pain BC works to improve the lives of people living with pain in British Columbia. We provide practical support and education while working beyond individual programs to improve the health, social and other systems that shape people’s experiences of pain. How do we do that?
Complex problems require collective action. Pain BC brings together people with lived experience, families, health care professionals, researchers, governments, community organizations and partners to create meaningful, lasting change.
Our work brings together current evidence, clinical expertise and the experiences of people living with pain.
We work alongside people with lived experience, health care professionals, researchers and partners to shape programs, resources and systems change.
We turn knowledge into free practical support, education and resources that people and communities can use.
Pain BC’s work is made possible by staff, board members, volunteers and people with lived experience who bring expertise, perspective and connection to the communities we serve.
Our volunteer Board of Directors provides governance, strategic oversight and accountability for Pain BC’s work.
Our staff put Pain BC’s strategy into action through programs, education, partnerships, advocacy, research and communications.
Pain BC works with community organizations, health care partners, researchers, governments, funders and others to strengthen pain care, education, support and systems change.
