SUMMARY:Coping with Pain and Related Emotions support group
DESCRIPTION:Chronic Pain and Mental Health\nThis month we explore Coping with Pain and Related Emotions support group\nThis anonymous\, interactive chat group is facilitated by an experienced Turn2Me Counsellor and will focus on exploring how we can better cope with our pain and the related emotions we feel i.e. guilt\, anger\, anxiety\, fear\, sadness etc. \nWhether you’re struggling with the emotional toll of chronic pain or simply looking for a supportive space to share your experience\, this group offers a safe anonymous and understanding environment. \nChronic 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. \nMore about the 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\ngoing through. \nWhy 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. \nChronic 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 at present.  If you would like to become a member to avail of this service see here \nAbout Turn2Me: \nTurn2Me is supported by the HSE’s National Office for Suicide Prevention to deliver counselling online.
