ACPA Facilitators: See the Big Picture of the ACPA
ACPA Facilitators strive to See the Forest Through the Trees. We use this phrase to describe the challenges of pain management that we the people with pain and the clinicians that treat pain face everyday… yearning to navigate our way to a better future. For ACPA facilitators, there comes a time where the big picture becomes clear, and we strive to help our communities strive in spite of pain. If every tree in the forest represents one pressing issue in pain management, it becomes overwhelming and seemingly impossible to find solutions. However, when we work together, we can divide and conquer the forest as a whole.
Knowing that you are not alone in this battle is the mission of peer support groups.
ACPA facilitators are self-starting leaders that help conduct peer support groups for others in pain. Facilitators are people so close to the pain situation that they can see the big picture objectively and can help others discuss healthy coping strategies.
If you are ready to step back and look at the situation as a whole, and lead others to find ways to live more fully while dealing with pain conditions, then by all means join the ACPA mission... the ACPA welcomes your leadership.
