The
Chronic Pain Support Group provides a forum for people handicapped
by pain, isolated and alienated by pain, frustrated by lack of
services dealing with the emotional aspect of physical pain, and
demoralized by changes in careers, families, and society. Different
modalities are used in the support group such as: developing coping
skills, decision making models, role-playing, assertiveness training,
guided imagery, meditation, breathing exercises and relaxation
techniques. The Afternoon Pain Connection Live Conference Calls
are held on the first Thursday of each month. The Evening Pain
Connection Live Conference Calls are held on the second Thursday
of each month. You must register for each call. Calls will not
be taped, and you may just listen - you do not need to talk unless
you feel like it. There is no charge for participating, but standard
long distance rates apply to the call.
