Chronic pain is a challenging condition to live with on its own – unfortunately, many people living with pain also face mental health challenges. On this episode of the Pain Waves podcast, we’re joined by Tristen Wybou, Pain BC’s Coaching for Health lead, who has lived and professional experience facing chronic pain and mental health concerns.
He shares with us the correlation between pain and mental health as well as steps those who are living with both can take to better understand their conditions.

Paving the path towards painless patient engagement
Not long ago, researchers would only involve people with lived experience in their work as research participants. Nowadays, patient engagement has become an essential part of the research process, but many researchers are unfamiliar with how to incorporate the patient perspective.
On this episode of the Pain Waves podcast, we’re joined by Dawn Richards, the Director of Patient and Public Engagement at Clinical Trials Ontario, and Linda Hunter, a semi-retired nurse and health care executive. Both live with chronic pain and are involved in patient engagement in research. With a panel of patient partners and the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis, they have developed a course breaking down how to do patient engagement in research.
