Mental Health Group: Self-Care & Sleep in Chronic Pain
This month we focus on selfcare, sleep, emotional awareness and the relationship with the body
Chronic Pain Ireland has partnered with Turn2Me an Irish online mental health charity that provides free, anonymous and confidential online professional health services. We’ve partnered to offer a series of specific chronic pain and mental health group sessions which at present are available to members of Chronic Pain Ireland. This month we are focusing on selfcare, sleep, emotional awareness and the relationship with the body
Chronic Pain Group sessions – Chronic Pain is invisible, you cannot show it to your doctor, friends, or family. There isn’t always a scar or any visual cues to the pain you are suffering. This peer support group is a place where you can seek support from others who suffer with chronic pain and can empathise with what you are
going through. At this group we will be looking and discussing ways to improve your:
self care
sleep
emotional awareness
your relationship with your body.
Why not take that step and communicate via instant chat with people with similar challenges and experiences you have. The group is completely anonymous offering you safety and a chance to be honest and authentic with what you are going through and hear from other members what has helped them and how they manage. Remember living with chronic pain, is day by day, slow and steady. To join this group you need to register as a user with Turn2Me and then register for the group in advance of the scheduled date and time. Well done, we look forward to virtually meeting you.
Chronic Pain Ireland in partnership with Turn2Me will facilitate a specific ‘chronic pain group counselling support group’ on the last Thursday evening of every month at 7pm. This service is available to current members of Chronic Pain Ireland.
