About Pain BC's Connect for Health Program

Living with chronic pain is challenging, and so is life outside of chronic pain. Pain BC’s Connect for Health program advocates for people in pain and their families, connecting you with services and support that go beyond your doctor’s office.

We connect people in pain and their families to the resources they need to be healthy. Our program focuses on the social determinants of health and facilitating access to non-health related resources.

Because living with chronic pain can mean needing more than just medical help.

Who We help

People living in chronic pain
Their families
Health care providers who want to help, but don’t always have the time or support to address the social determinants of health with their patients in pain.

Help Us Connect

We need your support to connect with people living in chronic pain with non-medical needs. Our team of volunteers advocate and facilitate access to the resources they need via toll-free phone lines, online self referral, and referral from their healthcare provider.
