This programme is funded by Black Thrive Lambeth and Impact for Urban Health and is only open to Black communities in Lambeth.

Chronic pain is a massive problem in UK with over 8 million people experiencing disabling chronic pain keeping them from engaging in their normal life activities. As a part of our work at RTW Plus, we are keen to support people with chronic pain to manage their condition for an improved quality of life.

This programme is an evidenced based programme, developed by a psychologist who experienced chronic pain throughout her childhood and adolescence without effective solutions. Empowered Relief; and has now been delivered for 5 years and has reaped benefits for hundreds of people who have experienced chronic pain.

The key to success will be in how much you engage in the process and practice so that you can call upon the strategies when you are having ‘bad days’. We look forward to helping you learn to re-train your brain to manage your pain.

Feedback from previous sessions:

“I just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed yesterday’s session ... There were so many things that I’d never been told before! I’m really excited at the opportunity this may bring to managing my pain. I’ve ordered a journal and can’t wait to try the binaural recording when you send it over. “ – Sara (name changed, experiencing chronic facial pain for over 12 years)

“Just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to take part in your meeting last week. I have been using it and have done the exercise you sent me twice a day since I received it. To my utter disbelief I am finding it very helpful already, although not yet a miracle cure I look forward to that happening.” – Jacob (name changed, experiencing chronic back pain for years, been told that he had a ‘crumbling back’ and there was nothing to be done, just live with it).
