Share your story to help raise awareness

Migraine Canada is working with partner organizations to engage people living with migraine to share their story in videos, podcasts, written articles and patient advisory panels. 
 
We encourage people of all backgrounds to participate in these initiatives, and help us raise awareness.
 

Video Projects with industry and organization partners

There are currently three separate video projects we are recruiting for. Participants will share their experience with migraine through interview-style Q&A on camera including b-roll of the participant in their surroundings (i.e. in their home, a park nearby, etc.) Once the video is edited, participants will have a chance to review the video before it’s finalized and published online.

Migraine Canada initiatives - Written Articles, Podcasts and Short Videos

Migraine Canada independently publishes articles, videos and podcasts covering patient stories, under the Your Voice and Migraine Talks banners.

We are also looking to engage participants who have found, or are still working towards relief, to speak about their journey. A headache specialist doctor will be a part of this video project.

Patient Advisory Boards

We are looking for people living with migraine to talk about their journey, their hurdles, the impact of migraine, their current and past challenges, and what difficulties they encounter in the care network. These would be one-time, short, 20-minute sessions over video conference during the month of May.

Participants will share their story, and possibly answer a few questions from the multidisciplinary audience of neurologists, family physicians, nurses and pharmacists.
