This program covers both the physical aspects of managing chronic pain as well as the emotional part and is designed to provide participants with the skills to manage their pain on a day-to-day basis. Workshop topics include: exercise, healthy eating, pain management, as well as how to deal with concerns such as fatigue, sleep problems, difficult emotions, weight loss, communicating with family, friends, and coworkers.
