Hi MelB,
Welcome to The Pain Community (TPC). We understand as with all chronic illness, people with pain often feel isolated and alone. They can feel separated from their families, friends, communities, and all too often, from life itself.
Here at TPC we understand that people with pain need a safe, judgment free place where they can share and meet others who truly understand a journey with pain and chronic illness.
We have a couple different ways to help you meet and make new friends. Starting with these discussion forums. We also have live hosted chats on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 11:00 AM ET in the chat room here on the website.
Another way to meet and talk to others is on our Outreach Support Conference Calls every week. The calls are open discussion calls so everyone on the call can be a part of the conversation. You can share as much or as little as you wish and there is never any pressure. We invite people who may be a little on the shy side or just really want to hear what the calls are like before joining the conversation the opportunity to come on the calls and just listen if they wish.
Our calls are always on Tuesday’s, our next call will be on Tuesday, June 26th at 7pm ET, 6pm CT, 5pm MT and 4pm PT.
Here is a link where you can read more about the calls and also see the schedule. https://paincommunity.org/tpc-outreach-support-conference-calls/
If you would like more information about any of these please let us know here or you can email us at, outreach@paincommunity.org.
Take care,
