Professor Tamar Pincus is a psychologist who specialises in supporting people living with pain.
“Prior research showed a clear disparity in health for Black residents in our city, often compounded by poverty, poor housing, and unemployment, which are known to make living with chronic pain more difficult,” he said.
“This new project is about moving from research to action, working directly with our community to create a plan which is culturally sensitive, trusted, and effective.
“We want to address reports that this community feels ‘less served’ by health services and use less than what is offered.”
