Long hours, heavy lifting, and years in the trades can lead to pain that doesn’t go away. Pushing through it just to get the job done takes a toll - and over time, it can make it harder to keep working.
This webinar is for construction workers and forepersons who want to better understand what pain really is and what can be done about it. Hosted by Pain BC, we’ll explore how pain shows up in the trades, the difference between everyday jobsite pain and chronic pain, and how pain connects to mental health. You'll hear from lived experience and walk away with practical strategies and new resources, including peer and text support, on-site education tools, and accessible pain management programs.
This session will cover:
- What is chronic pain, and how can it affect your life?
- Who is Pain BC, and how are they supporting the construction industry?
- What is the biopsychosocial model of pain, and how can understanding it help with pain management?
