The LiveWell with Chronic Pain Program is a peer-led, community based, self-management program to help adults who are experiencing a wide range of chronic pain conditions including:
- Repetitive strain injuries or whiplash injuries
- Persistent headaches
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain (such as neck, shoulder, back pain)
- Chronic regional pain or pelvic pain
- Fibromyalgia or neuralgias
- Neuropathic pain (often caused by trauma)
- Post-stroke or central pain
- Crohn’s disease or irritable bowel syndrome
- Severe muscular pain due to conditions such as multiple sclerosis
- Postsurgical pain lasting longer than six months
This program is currently offered through the Saskatchewan Health Authority as part of the provincial LiveWell with Chronic Conditions Program. The program has been adopted from the Stanford Self-Management Program developed for people who have a primary or secondary diagnosis of chronic pain.
You can refer yourself to the program or you can be referred by your health care provider, family members, or support persons.
Interactive Workshops
Trained health professionals, or peer leaders who have experienced chronic pain themselves, will provide you with a range of strategies and tools to help you manage your pain and get on with living a fulfilling life.
Duration: six weekly sessions
Cost: no fee
For more information on the programs, please contact your local LiveWell Coordinator.
