We are HOPE: Helping Open People's Eyes

How we become able to live with our pain is empowering

We can learn ways and skills to better manage our pain, relieve pain, and strive to live a better life.

What is a "better life" when living with pain? This differs so much from person to person. It might mean feeling comfortable going out in public, spending time with family and friends. Perhaps it's saying no to an activity or opening without feeling guilty. For many, it's being better able to get through the day.

Hope Instilled is an oasis for:

• Learning how to better live with our pain and possibly reduce it, instead of letting pain control our lives.

• Learning how foods, diet, and lifestyle affect our pain and inflammation.

• Learning about alternative treatment options to reduce and possibly eliminate pain.

• Talking with others who live with chronic pain in a non-judgmental setting to vent, ask questions, and give support to others.

If you suffer from ongoing pain this is a place for you.

It doesn't matter what type of pain it is, how severe it is, or how long it's lasted. You are not alone. Action-based peer-to-peer support makes a difference.
