Pain BC is looking for volunteer facilitators to co-lead/facilitate virtual Pain Support & Wellness Groups in British Columbia.
Pain Support and Wellness Groups offer an opportunity for people living with persistent pain to meet on regular basis to learn about self-management of pain, receive support and provide support by sharing knowledge, experiences, coping strategies, and offering understanding.
Each session allows participants to share their experiences, discuss self-management skills and take part in gentle movement exercises as a group.
Pain BC is looking for volunteer facilitators to co-lead/facilitate online Pain Support and Wellness Groups for various communities across the province. As a volunteer, you will receive thorough training and educational materials from Pain BC, as well as ongoing support from Pain BC staff to facilitate the group in your community.
