Beyond the Pain: Practical Tools for Active Dads with Chronic Illness

Beyond the Pain is a practical, evidence-informed course for dads living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, long recovery, hospitalisation, or major bodily changes. Led by Warrick’s lived experience and grounded in supportive, research-informed parenting approaches, you’ll learn how to steady the basics—daily energy, communication, routines, and self-compassion—so you can stay present even when symptoms flare. By the end, you’ll have a clear personal action plan, ready-to-use tools for pain/fatigue management, scripts for talking with a partner and children, and a practical framework for reducing guilt and protecting your identity as an active father.
