Give Pain A Voice

Give Pain A Voice is a not for profit advocacy group on the issue of CHRONIC PAIN.

Hi ! My name is Tina and I'm the Director of Give Pain A Voice. We are located in Toronto, Canada. My background is in Filmmaking, Motivational Speaking, Social Justice and Activism. I have spoken at the United Nations and for TED X YOUTH among many other venues.

I speak regularly to high school students on the topic of inclusion and unity in diversity.

Since identifying as a chronic pain patient several years ago, I have dedicated much of my time to championing awareness of long term pain conditions. As a visual artist and storyteller, my natural inclination is to create a Feature Documentary on this important and challenging issue , in addition to lobbying for change in societal perceptions of this disease both for myself and for others.

This is not the usual kind of topic someone one might become "impassioned" about, but listening to the stories of those that surround me and documenting the emotional turmoil we face daily as a national pain community- actually uplifts me, impassions me and fulfills a deep need for connection, for investigation, for meaning and for purpose.This journey has been a deep and rich one.
