Chronic pain in children is common and associated with increased risk for psychosocial and academic impairment.  While cognitive behavioral therapy with a trained specialist is effective, many youth do not have access to specialized care. Partnerships between researchers and school providers may help address pain in youth in a manner that is equitable and inclusive. This session presents data from experiences of partnering with school providers to develop and implement training in cognitive behavioral approaches for addressing pediatric pain.  This session will discuss experiences from different regions and countries in partnering with school providers to offer training in nonpharmacological strategies to manage pediatric chronic pain.  Dr. Natoshia Cunningham will report on an ongoing project targeting rural underserved areas in Michigan (USA) by partnering with key stakeholders to train school providers (nurses and mental health specialists) in pain-focused CBT.  Dr. Mark Connelly will present on a project in Kansas and Missouri (USA) training school nurses in the evaluation and nonpharmacological management of headache.  Aikaterini Giannakopoulou (junior presenter) will present on a project in Gothenburg (Sweden) involving training school nurses in the use of a mobile app to improve attendance in youth with chronic pain. Controversies and future directions will be addressed.
