What we’re about
Welcome to the brand new Thousand Oaks Chronic Pain Young Adult Meetup Group! Does your chronic pain and related issues make you feel misunderstood and isolated or embarrassed and unable to lead a normal young adult life? Is it hard to explain to your healthy friends why you can't make plans or have to cancel? Does your pain interfere with friendships, school, dating and career choices? I want to start a supportive community for young twenty- something year olds like me suffering from any type of debilitating chronic physical pain. If you could use a non-judgmental safe space to connect with others who understand what you're going through, this is the place for you. Let's come together to talk and offer support to navigate the challenges of managing pain in our daily lives. Events will be easy and mellow like meeting at a cafe for an hour (no coffee drinking required!).
