Course Description:

Chronic Pain is an epidemic impacting the physical, mental, and emotional well being of so many of the clients that we serve. Instructors will work together to provide an introduction to pain, explain how is is treated in Western medicine, including both physical modalities and therapeutic interventions, and bridge how they can work collaboratively to treat the person as a whole. Together they hope to leave social workers more informed and empowered to recognize, treat and link clients to the appropriate resources as they navigate this complex experience of pain.
