PEPR Partnership

A SSHRC funded project on meaningful engagement among people living with chronic pain and marginalization.

If we aim to truly #PriortizePain, all experiences and communities must be engaged. At PEPR, we’re developing a culturally responsive framework for engaging Indigenous patients that bridges academic methodologies with Indigenous healing practices and knowledge systems.
