Why is this Important?
September is Awareness Month for Pain, Self-Care, as well as Suicide Prevention.
Chronic pain affects one in five people and has a substantial impact on a person's ability to function at home and at work. Untreated chronic pain causes disturbances to sleep, cognition, appetite, mood, social activities, hobbies, and is associated with an increased incidence of depression, anxiety, and suicide.
Providing those who experience chronic pain with skills to optimize agency and competence in self-care is a crucial component of a whole-person, comprehensive, integrative approach to pain management.
