The Chronic Pain Self-Management workshops are tailored to individuals whose primary concern is chronic pain. Chronic Pain Self-Management workshops are independent of the normal Chronic Disease Self-Management workshops. The two and a half hour long workshops meet one day a week for six weeks. Each week is focused specifically on evidence based tactics to help individuals better manage their pain with topics such as: understanding acute vs. chronic pain, un-derstanding the pain & symptom cycle, learning about exercises & active living techniques for people experiencing chronic pain, managing pain without medica-tion, understanding medications that treat chronic pain, working with providers, and communicating about chronic pain.
