Registration is open 🎉
Putting the Pieces Together, a free virtual conference for and by people living with pain, returns November 2–6, 2026.
Eight million people in Canada live with chronic pain. This conference exists because their experience belongs at the centre of how we understand and address it, not on the sidelines.
Here's a taste of what's on the schedule:
- AI and Chronic Pain: what AI could mean for pain care and how to keep patients at the centre of it
- The Forgotten Trades Workers: a look at pain in the trades, and the path to the Trades and Pain (TAP) Program
- Relationality as Method, Relationality as Life: Indigenous research methodologies and what they teach us about healing through connection
- The Inner Wellbeing Series: trauma-informed, accessible tools for steadiness and self-compassion while living with pain
- Peer Supported Social Connection: small-group conversations, including spaces for BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, men, seniors and young adults
Like Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, we're not here to go back to how things were. We're here to build something stronger, together.
