Abstract

A pain management group using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) principles combined with physiotherapy exercises in the Child and Young People’s Adolescent Clinic is presented. Seven 11/2 hour sessions were run, including interactive learning on key ACT principles and discussion around values and goals. Evaluation demonstrates multiple benefits, including creating a safe space to share the struggles of living with chronic pain, access to multidisciplinary advice, and support from other young people.Image: ‘Weird Monster Creature Party’ by Qubodup.
