On November 8, 2008, the North Shore Support Group is planning a day of chronic pain awareness. We will be in the basement of the Mollie Nye House from 11 am until 3 pm. There will be several quest speakers, experts in chronic pain, sharing their knowledge and expertise. As we confirm the speakers the program details will be published.
Registration will be required and the day will cost $10.00 per person.
Coffee and a light lunch will be provided.
To register,or for more information, email Heather heather.divine@chronicpaincanada.com
We are a small group of people who meet once a month to discuss issues that affect us and new ways to deal with the things that just pop up. We are a positive group, with eyes on the future and ways to "Live a Life worth Living". We have a very small library to share. Our origins began with the 'Chronic Pain Association of Canada'. We have a pain focused forum annually.
