💚 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆 | 10 October 2026

Chronic pain can impact our mental health, and our mental wellbeing matters. Your voice deserves to be heard.

This World Mental Health Day, we recognise the emotional impact of living with chronic pain. Alongside pain itself, people may face isolation, uncertainty and the strain of getting through everyday life.

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. 💚

This year’s theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” reminds us how important it is to listen to people’s experiences and involve them in shaping the support they need. This is central to our work.

At Chronic Pain Ireland, we provide information, education and opportunities to connect with others who understand life with chronic pain. We also work to ensure the patient voice is central to all that we do.
