SUMMARY:Pain Management: Chronic Pain Booster & Implementation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Pain Management: Chronic Pain Booster & Implementation Workshop\nOur series of courses and workshops look at ways to manage and cope with the challenge of chronic pain. As you will know\, pain management involves adapting to change by adopting a new set of habits that are often the opposite of what we are used to.  It’s no surprise that it’s hard to do! \nPeople often fly high for a while after a course or workshop\, but it’s easy to lose momentum and slip back into those old unhelpful habits. With this in mind\, we are pleased to offer a bi-monthly session which focusses on helping you to regain the motivation to get back in to the habit of pain management. \nThese sessions are open to anyone who has completed any of the following: Living Well courses\, CPI “5 week” course\, all 12 CPI workshops or a hospital run pain management programme. The sessions are there for you to bring your questions and to explore whatever is needed to help you to re-invigorate your pain management habit. The aim is to give you a boost\, perhaps to re-assure\, to re-motivate or just to know it’s ok to keep doing what helps. \nThe sessions are not so much about new information\, rather they’re about finding ways to put what you know back into practice. The sessions will be friendly and interactive. The topic(s) and focus are set at the start of each meeting within the group. \nChronic Pain Ireland has for many years offered self-management training for all living with chronic pain and are partners with the Pain Association Scotland\, who (having pioneered the development and delivery of self-management training) have run community programmes for over 20 years. Both CPI and PAS share mutual aims of helping to improve the quality of life for all living with chronic pain. The focus of these interactive workshops is therefore on introducing people to\, and quickly building\, self-management skills\, thereby creating practical\, positive change leading to an improved quality of life and well-being. Our trained facilitator has delivered over 10\,000 workshops to date. \nThese workshops are offered to members of Chronic Pain Ireland and are supported by way of a Hospital Saturday Fund grant. \nTo avail of all our chronic pain support services including: self-management workshops\, telephone support line\, chronic pain courses and programmes\, online meetings\, webinars and networking opportunities   – Join here \n  \n
