The goal of the HELP Pain training program is to engage school professionals (school nurses and mental health workers) to manage student pain in Michigan communities. The program will train school providers in cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help address pain and related symptoms in school children. The study is funded by the Michigan Health Endowment Fund and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Michigan. Collaborators include representatives from the Michigan Association of School Nurses, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, Ellsworth Community Schools, Concord Academy of Petoskey, and Alanson Public Schools.
