Centre for Complex Pain – Resources

Resources for children, teenagers and parents

With so much information out there, it can sometimes be hard to find reliable resources for patients and families dealing with chronic pain.  This page strives to provide you with evidence-based and sound information regarding the nature of pain, ways to cope with your pain, and downloadable applications that offer practical help, all in one place.  As well, we provide resources for continuing clinical education for primary healthcare workers in Québec to be equipped to diagnose and treat pediatric chronic pain.
