Living with chronic pain is often an isolating experience, especially for individuals who feel that no one understands what they are experiencing. Connecting to peer support groups can help individuals receive empathy and support that can improve quality of life and ability to cope. Even “liking” and following an organization on Facebook that supports the improvement of chronic pain management can help increase the sense of engagement in a supportive community.
