Chronic Pain Network

We cannot afford to stay silent in the face of systematic barriers & long-standing biases that continue to prevent girls from becoming #WomenInScience. http://unwo.men/iFcL30igBPR

It's not just Chronic Pain Network project leads; CPN female patient perspective partners are shaping the way research is done by consulting on projects, presenting at conferences and authoring papers. They're providing expertise and giving a voice to those with lived experience.

Join @UN_Women in celebrating the #WomenInScience, who inspire the world with their achievements, perseverance & courage in the face of patriarchal challenges that persist in the world of in Science, Tech, Engineering and Math.

February 11th is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The Chronic Pain Network is fortunate enough to be affiliated with many incredible women in science, helping to improve the way pain is managed and treated in Canada. Today, we honour them and their contributions, as well as those who came before them. #WomenInScience

Each day, hundreds of Canadians sustain a workplace injury, often experiencing acute or even chronic pain as a result. Proper treatment is essential. Living with unmanaged pain can lead to sleeplessness, depression, anxiety, diminished quality of life and isolation. 36% of non-employed persons with a pain-related disability have work potential. Sometimes all it takes is minor accommodations. #NPAW2020 #LivingWithPain
