About Pain BC
Our goals
- Prevent persistent pain and intervene early to reduce its impacts
- Empower people who live with pain to enhance wellbeing
- Educate health care providers to better assess and manage pain
- Improve the systems that impact people in pain, communities and society
- Combat stigma and its negative effects
- Foster research on pain and pain-related disability
Our approach
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.
Our programs


Our coaches provide one-to-one telephone support to help you learn self-management skills and regain function.



We know your pain is real. We provide free information, support, and a listening ear to people wanting to talk about their own pain or that of a family member or friend.

Our groups provide online pain education and ongoing peer mentorship and support to people living with persistent pain throughout BC.
Who we are
Pain BC's work wouldn't be possible without our board, staff and volunteers, including faculty, event volunteers, committee members, and patient leaders.
Each member of our team provides crucial expertise, support, and connection to the community.
