About Us
Our Vision
Our vision is to provide free, quality, on-demand, and live resources to youth in chronic pain and their caregivers, which will increase their quality of life and decrease their pain. We aim to build a supportive community of youth and their caregivers navigating the difficulties of living with chronic pain across the US, Canada, and beyond.
Our Mission
Our mission at Creative Healing for Youth in Pain is to cultivate a supportive online community for youth ages 13-24 and their caregivers while they navigate the challenges of chronic pain. CHYP strives to inspire and empower participants and guide them toward a journey of healing and hope by giving them the tools needed to overcome the obstacles of chronic pain, including creative non-clinical interventions, education, and peer support. CHYP aims to provide its participants with community and healing tools without the limitations imposed by geographic location or socioeconomic status.
Our Impact
CHYP is an online nonprofit that provides educational resources, peer connections, and creative healing experiences while bridging the gap for common healthcare barriers such as cost, geographic location, and long wait times for doctor appointments.
