Migraine Canada is the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on supporting all Canadians impacted by migraine and other headache conditions.
We are transforming the lives of people affected by migraine and headache conditions through awareness campaigns, education and support programs, advocacy and research.
Migraine doesn't have to derail your career. Nearly every workplace in the country is impacted by migraine disease through absenteeism and presenteeism. Despite the prevalence of the disease, there is a lack of education and awareness around it. In the workplace, this often leads to unintended stigma and bias against employees living with migraine disease. Visit our website to learn more about programs available for both employees and employers.
