ACT Group therapy for Chronic Pain
ACT group for Chronic Pain is a structured 4-week group therapy program that relies upon Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The group will run from 5-6pm every Thursday, starting April 16th, 2026. The primary goal of this program is to help those struggling with chronic pain to distance themselves from difficult thoughts, feelings, and pain so that they can take action and live life in a way that resonates with their core values. It is designed to help individuals struggling with chronic pain to learn practical skills. These skills can help individuals to change their relationship with pain in a way that reduces its impact on their daily living.
This group combines psychoeducation with skill-building to support personal growth and improved wellbeing. Participants will also be a part of a supportive environment that encourages light discussion and sharing of one’s own experiences and difficulties with chronic pain. However, this is not a crisis management group. Therefore, this group cannot support individuals who are suicidal, struggling heavily with addictions, or who are in a severe mental health crisis.
