What is the Introduction to Pain Management Workshop?

The Introduction to Pain Management Workshop is designed and delivered by our exercise physiologists and physiotherapists to help veterans and family members gain a better understanding and greater confidence in managing their chronic pain.

The workshop will take veterans and families through a group education session run over three hours, where you will learn about the impacts that pain can have on physical wellbeing and strategies that can be implemented to manage your pain and increase your quality of life.

This workshop will be facilitated online via the doxy.me platform. To participate, you will need:

  • PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone with video calling capabilities
  • Internet connection capable of sustaining an online video call

Please note, there is a minimum number of participants required for facilitation of this workshop. The workshop may be cancelled if the minimum number is not met.

Workshop expression of interest

Due to receiving a high volume of EOIs for our programs, please take the time to provide thoughtful and considered responses to the following questions. This is to confirm that participants selected for the program meet our requested criteria.

To ensure that participants for the program are selected fairly, all EOI submissions will be assessed individually to identify which participants meet the requirements of the EOI and are most suitable to attend the workshop.

Please note, we are unable to keep EOIs on file as a waitlist for future programs. All programs require individual EOIs to be submitted.
