Persistent Pain Peer Support Group

Our monthly group meets to offer support to live well with persistent pain.

Pain Group flyer

Our friendly group can provide support, advice and ideas for managing pain. Recent topics have included:

  • Pacing yourself
  • Priorities and planning
  • Setting goals
  • Medication

In 2025, we are collaborating with Sheffield Mind to offer art for wellbeing sessions as part of the Persistent Pain Group. Each month, we’ll be joined by a member of the Sheffield Mind team, who will support the group to participate in art activities to help them live well with pain and manage their mental wellbeing.

The group sometimes also has guest speakers to cover relevant topics, such as Manasi Peters, the Physiotherapy Supervisor at the local Primary Care Network.

Some recent feedback from group attendees:

I learned to pace myself – from the toolkit of pain.

I learned to take breaks more often.

I really enjoyed the session and got helpful information.
