We Care.

Starting in our own community of Bryan/College Station, Texas, we seek to change how chronic pain is understood, researched, treated, and furthermore experienced by the many who are trapped by its grip. That grip is far too often viewed as a physical-only condition instead of the whole-person experience that requires whole-person pain care.

Our Mission.

To improve outcomes and quality of life for all people living with chronic pain via a collaborative community of diverse providers, researchers, community leaders, and individuals with experience of chronic pain. 

Vision.

A community where pain is believed and people living with chronic pain are surrounded by pain-informed sources of support, knowledge, and connection. 

Objectives.

• Support and educate those with pain, providing tools designed to overcome challenges and improve quality of life 

• Build alliances across the community, connecting people across professions to serve those with chronic pain 

• Disseminate educational resources founded on evidence-based, integrated approaches to chronic pain 

• Inspire innovative research that leverages community strengths to reimagine whole-person pain care 

Commitments.

We are committed to representation and equitable collaboration. This includes explicit recognition of lived experience as expertise, and intentional inclusion of people from diverse backgrounds as essential to addressing the problem of pain in our community.
