Our mission at the Association québécoise de la douleur chronique (AQDC) is to improve the living conditions and reduce the isolation of people living with chronic pain in Quebec.
If you need to talk, to confide in someone or if you are interested in learning more, please call or leave us a message and we will return your call.
THE HELP LINE IS AVAILABLE from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
As of this International Pain Awareness Month, the AQDC, the Quebec Pain Society and the Quebec Pain Research Network are proud to introduce you the #PrioritizePain campaign, inspired by Pain Canada which aims to raise Quebecer’s awareness about chronic pain and encourage them to get involved.
• You have free access to valuable information
• You are part of a community of people who care about your pain
• You are helping the AQDC ensure that chronic pain is recognized in Quebec
The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as being “An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage.” Pain is very personal and subjective. Unlike fever, in which a thermometer can actually show if your temperature is elevated, there is no objective way to measure the pain you are experiencing.
Any kind of involvement is greatly appreciated, and even a simple contribution can make a difference. In fact, there are several ways to get involved at the AQDC:
The AQDC regularly presents webinar conferences and organizes events that will potentially contribute to the well-being of people with chronic pain. The association frequently announces stakeholder’s conferences and activities within the continuum of chronic pain in Quebec.
All of our activities are currently hold in virtual mode. As soon as it is safe for everyone, we will go back to our in-person support groups, conferences and other events.
Supporting the AQDC helps it grow and enables people living with chronic pain to break out of their isolation.
