Program Description
About 1 in 5 youth develop persistent pain during childhood and benefit from biopsychosocial pain management approaches. However, access to skilled mental health clinicians in the community who are comfortable providing psychological treatments for chronic pain is limited, leading to disparities in treatment access. To address this need, this workshop will provide the groundwork to apply psychological approaches for pain management when working with children, teens, and young adults. Issues related to disparities in pain management for underserved populations will also be discussed.
