GREAT NEWS! For Grace's 17-year Pain Awareness Month effort has become a California Women's Caucus priority resolution - meaning this influential group strongly supports  our annual legislation to spotlight chronic pain as a public health concern as well as the gender bias toward women in pain. This year's author is Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson, the first in a long line of women legislators going forward who will lead the charge. Reso information TBA.

For Grace is excited to announce a deepening partnership with The Mighty's worldwide community to educate, inspire and empower people with pain. Beginning in February, Cynthia Toussaint will host a live stream with a different guest each month. She'll interview and talk with Miracle Makers, many who have survived impossible odds and gone on to make the world a better place for people with pain. All of her guests will be inspiring change agents!  Please check back soon for more details...

For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint sat down with Dr. Melissa Cady to talk about her 36+ year high-impact, persistent pain experience, and her book, Battle for Grace. In this powerful interview, Cynthia not only chronicles her pain/fatigue journey, but speaks to how she was able to heal herself to a large degree utilizing self-care techniques like narrative therapy and the expressive arts.

For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint shares her story of inspiration and resilience in the recently released book, "When Bodies Break: How We Survive & Thrive with Illness & Disability." Authored by Cameron B. Auxer, this is a "chicken soup"-style book offering personal stories of pain, illness and how people can ultimately triumph. Women in pain, pick up a copy on Amazon today!
