This week on Brainwaves, the team talked to Charmian about her lived experience of chronic pain and mental ilness. We talked about the various ways chronic pain and the 'solutions' for her pain have impacted upon her life, both physically and mentally, as well as the stigma she experiences as a result of her journey with pain. National Pain Week ran from 23rd - 29th July 2018. To find out more about the week head to nationalpainweek.org.au. More resources can be found on the Pain Australia website here or on the Australian Pain Society directory here.
