One-to-one peer support

Would you like phone or online support from a Pain Chain Coach?

A Pain Chain Coach is somebody who has chronic pain and therefore understands the challenge of living with daily pain.

We are very sorry but due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to offer any new pain coaches at the moment but will endeavour to get this back up and running as soon as possible.
