Online Pain Toolkit workshop for UK and English-speaking EU residents
Presented by The Pain Toolkit – the home of supported pain self-management.
Many people may not have access to pain management programmes and so the Pain Toolkit has organised a team of experiences coaches to run a 5-day (2.5hrs a day) workshop. The workshop is open to people living with persistent pain, and open to maximum of 10 participants. Pain Toolkit will be running three workshops during 2022 in Canada and Australia. The first workshop will be in the UK & English speaking EU residents. It starts on Monday, 31 January – Friday, 4 February 2022.
Monday – Friday. 2.5hrs a day. From 10am – 12.30pm GMT
Please note: the workshop is only for people living with persistent pain, and not healthcare professionals
Cost of the workshop
Donation only. All coaches are giving their time for free but there will be overheads to make the workshops happen.
Objectives of the workshop
The main objective of workshops is to provide a comprehensive learning platform for people living with persistent pain. Give you the tools to move forward and start living again with some support.
Who runs the workshop?
The workshops are run by coaches: Pete Moore with 25 years’ experience of self-managing his pain; Keith Meldrum with 28 years’ experience; and Chartered Physiotherapist, Katie Knapton, who has more than 30 years’ experience supporting people with persistent pain.
What does supported self-management mean?
The term ‘supported self-management’ is used to mean the ways that health and social care services encourage, support and re-empower people to manage their persistent pain with the help and support of their healthcare worker.
What happens in the workshops?
The workshop is run at a pace to suit all participants and there is plenty on interaction. In other words, it’s not a sit and listen workshop. There will be fun times as well and the opportunity to help realise and set your own goals.
After the workshop has finished all participants will be able to join the private Pain Toolkit Facebook support group. Only people who have attended the 5-day workshop will be able to join. Pete, Katie and Keith will also be available and offer extra support if needed. There will also be pain self-management information posted on the Facebook page.
Commitment
The only commitment asked of participants is that they attend all five sessions and are willing fill out evaluation forms after the workshop and three months, six months and 12 months so the workshops can be evaluated.
