IS LIVING WITH PAIN GETTING YOU DOWN?
Introducing: The Chronic Pain Self-Management Workshop
There are lots of reasons why a person might be experiencing chronic pain. People dealing with pain know how hard it is to get proper care and function on a daily basis. This six-session workshop provides an entire toolbox of specific and proactive self-management strategies with proven outcomes.
Topics include:
Understanding acute and chronic pain
Pacing: balancing activity and rest
“Moving Easy” exercises
How eating better can make a difference
Dealing sadness, anger and loss
Medications and other interventions
Communication and chronic pain
Getting a good night’s sleep…and much more
The workshop is taught by trained leaders in a small group setting. Participants meet for 2 ½ hours a week for six weeks. The workshop is open to adults of all ages and their caregivers.
The Chronic Pain Self-Management Workshop is a program of the Southern Maine Agency on Aging under licensure from the Stanford University School of Medicine.
