“This new programme was really useful for my pain management. It helped reduce isolation and improved my mental health through group activities.”
The Pain Resilience Programme (PRP) is a Veteran-specific online course. It is delivered in small groups with fully qualified clinicians to help Veterans struggling with chronic pain. The course provides Veterans with the tools required to understand and manage their pain.
PRP is a Veteran-led group-based programme, with the group component reported as particularly helpful since it allows a discussion of pain in a safe environment with others who have had similar experiences and problems.
