As #NPAW2025 comes to a close, we celebrate your strength and your voice.
Together, we’re building a future where pain is understood, managed, and met with compassion.
#PrioritizePain
If we aim to truly #PriortizePain, all experiences and communities must be engaged. At PEPR, we’re developing a culturally responsive framework for engaging Indigenous patients that bridges academic methodologies with Indigenous healing practices and knowledge systems.

Pain is invisible, but your experience isn’t.
Your story helps others feel less alone and helps researchers and clinicians build better systems of care.
#NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain
At the QPRN, research is done with people living with pain. Their experience guides our projects and strengthens science. Discover the Patient Engagement Portal!

Managing pediatric pain can be challenging. Children are unique, and solutions to their pain need to be tailored, but resources and tools exist to help deliver care that has real impact.

Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 Canadians, yet it remains one of the most under-researched and under-treated health conditions.
Canadian researchers are changing that.

Understanding & trying to manage adult pain is bad enough; not knowing what to do to help manage a child’s pain is unacceptable & heartbreaking. We need to do everything we can to manage & support children’s pain. Effective pediatric pain management is A Path Forward. #NPAW2025 #PrioritizePain
