CA Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson (SR 67) and LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl team up to proclaim September as Pain Awareness Month and September 22 as Women In Pain Awareness Day (this date coincides with our 2017 Change Agent Pain Summit: Part One.) For Grace has proudly sponsored these resolutions for 15 years - and our deepest gratitude goes out to these amazing legislators (and their staffers!) who continue to champion the cause of people with high-impact pain! Thank you for being our heroes!
Physical Therapist Dr. Joe Tatta interviewed Cynthia in this 45-minute podcast that focuses on her "best practices" for pain relief. Titled Remember Self-Care: The Most Important Part of Chronic Pain Treatment and Relief, Cynthia talks candidly about how western medicine failed her - and how alternative and self-care have brought her to better wellness. Cynthia also talks about her book Battle for Grace and, of course, For Grace's quickly approaching Change Agent Pain Summit.
Two Los Angeles media spots will be highlighting For Grace's 2017 Change Agent Pain Summit this weekend! For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint will be a guest on CBS2 News' This Morning on Saturday at 6:35am. Then on Sunday at 4pm, she'll be joined by For Grace Director John Garrett, Keynote Speaker Dr. Bob Twillman and Summit Architect Mindy Meyer on KPFK (90.7 FM)'s Access Unlimited radio show. Both spots will be archived if you can't catch them live. And don't forget, there'll be a live, worldwide summit webcast on Sept. 22 starting at 9am PT @ forgrace.org!
Women and men in pain, this is your chance to make a big impact on pain care for millions. For Grace's 10th annual event will bring together people with pain and their caregivers to glean important insight about barriers to pain care and to suggest solutions. We'll take what we learn to healthcare and policy leaders at our Summit Part Two where we'll work to implement the National Pain Strategy and Integrative Care. Link HERE to learn more about our September 22nd event - and to watch the live, worldwide webcast starting at 9am PT.
