November 2-8, 2025 is National Pain Awareness Week, a time to raise awareness of chronic pain, its impacts, and how implementing An Action Plan for Pain in Canada can improve equitable access to timely and evidence-based care and support for all people with pain. The plan lays out numerous recommendations for targeted actions necessary to improve outcomes for the nearly eight million Canadians living with chronic pain and to reduce pain’s impact on families, communities, and society.

Please join us to create dialogue and draw attention to chronic pain this National Pain Awareness Week by using these social media tools, and by adding your voice to the conversation using the #NPAW2025 hashtag.

This campaign is created in collaboration with Power Over Pain Portal and other Pain Canada’s partners.
