In this special episode of Action on Pain, the hosts discuss the significance of National Pain Awareness Week (NPAW). As noted by Health Canada, NPAW is “a time to raise awareness of chronic pain, its impacts, and how implementing An Action Plan for Pain in Canada can improve equitable access to timely and evidence-based care and support for all people with pain.”

Jennifer, Keith, and Virginia discuss what NPAW means to them, not only as pain advocates but as three of the over eight million Canadians who live with persistent pain.
