We are dedicated to transforming the lives of those affected by neuropathy through comprehensive awareness, education, and support.
Our mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their symptoms effectively and confidently, enabling them to take an active role in their health and well-being. We believe that with the right information and support, everyone with peripheral neuropathy can lead a vibrant, fulfilling life.
With your support, we provide crucial assistance to individuals like:
– Joe: Facing the possibility of foot amputation, Joe finds hope and guidance in our community.
– Sylvie: Living with both neuropathy and a brain injury, Sylvie struggles with communication, but our resources help bridge the gap with her loved ones.
– Holly: In her 80s, Holly has exhausted traditional pain medications with little relief. She sought our help to explore CBD options and book necessary appointments.
-Mark: Diagnosed with idiopathic neuropathy, Mark turned to us for expert advice on managing his symptoms.
– Gwen: Searching for support similar to the CNA in Southern Alberta, Gwen found a lifeline through our network.
Our Values
Awareness: Every person needs to know about neuropathy and how they can help. We share the wisdom of self-management for Neuropathy through advocacy and promotion. We help others through education. We believe research is our future and researchers are our guide.
Optimism improves lives. Hope opens eyes. Positivity lifts spirits. Balance keeps us grounded. We adopt optimism as we balance reality and hope.
Trust means being impartial, respectful and a safe place. A Safe Place boosts well-being. Respect gives dignity. Impartiality instills confidence.
Compassion is empathy, caring and support; and is the foundation of our programs. Empathy in this context means: Neuropathy experiences are shared experiences. We show care by giving close attention, sharing time, and understanding needs. Compassionate support speaks to the whole person.
Connection means everything. We, at the CNA, connect and embrace our diverse community in supporting those impacted by peripheral neuropathy including those living with a chronic disease and/or chronic pain. Our robust connections shape a community that thrives on meaningful engagement and relationships.
