The American Chronic Pain Association is a peer and education support group for those coping with chronic pain and their families.

The group covers pain management skills, relaxation techniques, and gentle exercises while sharing conversation with others who understand.

The ACPA meets at 6 p.m. on the first and third Mondays of each month at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital, 1420 N. Tracy Blvd., in classroom A & B in the physical therapy / administration building (corner of west Eaton and Bessie avenues).
