Pain Management

The PSP Pain Management Program was designed to provide additional ongoing resources to the Chronic Pain Management Group, implemented in 2022 by 33 Health Services.

Consisting of a series of 4 standalone workshops, your team of PSP Reconditioning and Health Promotion Specialists will incorporate both education (theory) and skill development (practical) components of healthy coping strategies needed to assist members in learning to understand and self-manage their pain.

Join one session or all four by registering here.

*Please note that registration priority goes to active military members. If space permits, civilians and veterans are welcome to register.
