In this episode of Action On Pain, Virginia, Keith, and Jennifer welcome Doctors Patricia Poulin and Yaadwinder Shergill, co-leads behind Canada’s first comprehensive chronic pain management portal — “Power Over Pain”. The guests share how the portal was developed, from identifying gaps in pain care access to securing funding through Health Canada. Built on a stepped care model, the portal offers free, evidence-based resources including workshops, self-management tools, and peer support — helping Canadians navigate chronic pain while reducing wait times for specialized care.
