For someone living with pain, meaningful support doesn’t always mean having the right answers. Sometimes, it means listening, asking what they need, respecting their boundaries, and avoiding assumptions.

When pain is dismissed, many people stop talking about it. Help change that: until Dec. 1, every dollar donated to Pain Canada is matched by a generous donor. UnsilencePain.ca/donate #UnsilencePain #NPAW2026

Many people keep showing up at work while managing pain no one sees. “When Pain Comes Up” gives teams practical ways to talk about it. Share it with yours: UnsilencePain.ca/WhenPainComesUp #UnsilencePain #NPAW2026

Does it count as #PolkaDotsForPain during National Pain Awareness Week #NPAW if the "dots" are cookies you eat as cycling snacks? 🤔

Nearly 8 million Canadians are living with pain. That’s 1 in 5 of us.
It’s a number big enough to demand attention, but every person behind it has their own experience.
Pain can be visible, invisible, temporary, persistent, mild, severe, and everything in between.
This eek, we're asking you to help us make pain visible. Put on your polka dots, grab your colleagues, classmates, friends or family, and take a photo! 📷
We’re adding a little bonus for participating! By sharing your polka-dot photo during National Pain Awareness Week, tagging @CanadianPain and using #PolkaDotsForPain, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $50 gift card.
