Challenging Pain is a short course designed to help chronic pain sufferers learn techniques and develop skills designed to manage chronic conditions and regain control of their lives.

Although this program is conducted by Arthritis & Osteoporosis NT, it is relevant for all people experiencing pain due to chronic conditions – not just arthritis or osteoporosis.

• What is your pain?
