September 2025 = International Pain Awareness month

September is International Pain Awareness Month — and it’s more than a hashtag. It’s a call to action.

Pain is a whole-person experience that shapes identity, impacts daily functioning, and affects personal dignity. As healthcare professionals, we are uniquely positioned to shift the pain narrative—from dismissal to understanding, from fragmented to person-centred care, and more.

Let’s use this month to:
* Reflect on our biases around pain
* Reframe our clinical language
* Recommit to lifelong learning
* Reconnect with the people behind the pain labels

TPA’s evidence-informed, interdisciplinary training equips practitioners to assess and manage pain with nuance, empathy, and up-to-date clinical knowledge and skills.

Whatever your healthcare discipline, enhance your pain care by signing up for our next:
· 2-day Certificate in Pain module
· 1.5 hour weeknight webinar
· 4-hour Saturday seminar
