The Comfort Ability

Who is The Comfort Ability

The program teaches how pain functions in the body and introduces cognitive behavioral and biobehavioral pain management strategies. The Comfort Ability emphasizes the mind-body connection and offers non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical strategies for improved pain management. How does The Comfort Ability work? The Comfort Ability provides families with a foundation for understanding the various ways psychological care can improve pain management. It also provides adolescents and their families skills necessary for improved emotional and physical functioning. What happens at The Comfort Ability? While adolescents and their parents or caregivers start the day together, most of the day is spent in separate groups. Adolescents are introduced to biobehavioral pain management strategies, such as guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation and biofeedback. They have an opportunity to practice these skills in a group setting. They also learn about how pain functions in the body, receive an introduction to cognitive behavioral therapy strategies and participate in a group art project. Additionally, youth will have an opportunity to share with peers about their pain experiences and learn from others. Parents and caregivers learn parent strategies that help in the management of chronic pain, new approaches for supporting their child's function at home and school, and learn about the biobehavioral and cognitive behavioral skills their children are being taught so they can reinforce progress at home. Who can attend the Comfort Ability? Youth ages 10-17 are eligible sign up for the Comfort Ability. The Comfort Ability is currently being offered in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
