Pediatric chronic pain is common yet access to pediatric behavioral healthcare is limited.  School providers (e.g., nurses, mental health specialists) are often tasked with addressing child pain but may have limited training.  The chair will first overview this literature and relevant research.  Then, the chair will present ongoing research she leads on the Helping Educators Learn Pediatric Pain Assessment and Intervention Needs (HELP PAIN) program, which aims to implement pediatric pain-focused cognitive-behavioral strategies in schools. We are partnered with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, the Michigan Association of School Nurses, and several area schools to optimize care in a rural and underserved region.  In collaboration with community stakeholders, we created a comprehensive training in pediatric pain management strategies.  Baseline and post-training data is collected with 95 providers to measure feasibility and knowledge.  Monthly use of strategies during ongoing training is collected.  Baseline data suggests limited provider knowledge of pain-focused CBT.  Further, provers reported seeing ~7 students per month that could benefit.   After one month, 43% reported using the tools, including school accommodations (15%), deep breathing (28%), and problem solving (15%). Twenty three percent reported tracking student pain outcomes. Additional data (anticipated completion, May 2023) will also be presented.
