The objective for this ECHO is to increase competence in behavioral health interventions and to increase collaboration with medical professionals of behavioral health practitioners for managing clients with chronic pain.
Chronic Pain (CP) is at epidemic levels and has become the highest-cost condition in healthcare. Subsequently, there is now an opioid epidemic, and drug overdose is the leading cause of death from injury in the United States. This live video teleconferencing series explores evidence-based behavioral health interventions to increase a person's ability to meet treatment goals, increase acceptance, handle adverse situations, reduce risks related to opioid use, and enhance functional ability despite their ongoing pain. This Chronic Pain ECHO is designed to provide behavioral health professionals with specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapies and mindfulness approaches. Participants will also explore strategies for increasing integration and communication with healthcare providers. Additionally, participants will increase their knowledge of individuals experiencing pain with or without co-occurring issues with chronic pain.
This ECHO video teleconferencing series, guided by experts, takes place over five weekly modules (one-hour each) and will cover topics such as:
- Understanding Chronic Pain and Opioids
- CBT for Chronic Pain
- Integration Issues: Creating Collaboration and Communication Routes
- Mindfulness Approaches for Chronic Pain
- Common Co-occurring Issues with Chronic Pain
