FREE PAIN CAFES
There are 18 Pain Cafés, set up by Sean Jennings and Julie Widdecombe at various venues across Devon & Cornwall. These help people cope with their experience of pain. Pain Cafés are FREE and people can drop in during the two hours or stay for the entirety.
I have recently set up a new Café at SALTASH STUDIOS 24 Fore St, Saltash PL12 6JL (site of old Barclays Bank)

One of my key roles as a Movement Director is to guide people through a group session to help them cope with their pain.
This 30-minute session consists of:-
This helps to bring the spotlight away from the pain, which can lessen the intensity of the experience. My other roles are to listen to people who have chronic pain and signpost them to resources and services that may be helpful to them.
Over the last few years, I have suffered with chronic back pain. Attending a Pain Management Course at Plymouth Marjon University helped me learn how to manage my pain. My personal experience allows me to empathise with others' experiences and offer a listening ear and guidance.
Come along if you are a pain sufferer or recommend it to someone you know who is in pain.
