Everyone who lives with chronic pain—or cares about someone who does—is different. But at the same time we all have common interests. We are a kind of community and deserve to have our voices heard.

The materials and information here can help you to reach out to others to help them better understand the social, economic, and personal issues related to pain. Sometimes, the best way to help yourself is to help someone else.
