About the Module - In the difficult circumstances that surround a suicide there is often not time or head-space to think about any children in the family. Adults are often unsure what to say to children and struggle to find helpful words to talk about suicide with a child. Families have an understandable wish to protect their children from difficult things, which can lead to them avoiding conversations that a child needs in order to process what has happened. This module will compliment the module ‘Language and Suicide Bereavement’, where the focus is on adults.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND https://directory.cpdstandards.com/providers/human-givens-college/ Pain is endemic in our society and whatever the cause – back pain, migraine, arthritic pain, dental pain, irritable bowel (IBS), labour/menstrual pain, cancer pain, psychogenic pain, psychosomatic pain – it can be incapacitating. Chronic pain is any pain which lasts for more than three months and it is estimated that between 25–40% of our population suffer from persistent or chronic pain. The sociological and economic costs of this are enormous but it is in the personal human suffering involved – mental as well as physical – that the real costs should be measured. Many are desperate for effective help to relieve their pain and the associated effects, such as insomnia and depression. This online workshop – with leading pain and musculoskeletal medicine consultant Dr Grahame Brown – gives you important new information about how we experience pain – derived from the latest neuroscience – and a powerful range of psychological techniques for managing pain naturally, preventing it from escalating and speeding up healing. You will discover how people can be helped out of the vicious cycle of chronic pain and how, by working holistically through the bio-psycho-social model, suffering can be dramatically reduced. You don’t need to have any prior medical knowledge to learn from and enjoy the day – you will leave with a much clearer understanding of what is going on in the mind/body system, what you can do to reduce suffering when pain persists and ways to prevent chronic ongoing pain from developing. It is a key event if you work with people suffering from pain at any stage (from recent onset, recurrent to persistent) or if you would like to find out how to successfully manage pain without medication. You will learn a wide variety of pain management techniques, which can easily be integrated into your work, to help relieve pain and promote recovery – often in just one session. > Dr Grahame Brown has a real gift for helping people heal themselves – I know: > I’m one of them! > > CHRISTOPHER BUCKLEY, PROFESSOR OF RHEUMATOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM    WHAT WILL YOU LEARN * An increased understanding of how we perceive pain (from the latest neuroscientific research) and what is happening in the mind/body system * A road map for helping people out of the vicious cycle of chronic pain, or to stop it developing in the first place * The confidence and skills to help patients suffering from persistent pain of whatever cause – no need to feel ‘heart-sink’ with some patients anymore * An understanding of what is going on when pain persists – and what you can do about it * How to reduce the risk of chronic pain developing – prevention is better than cure – and identify the factors that make it likely * A range of psychological chronic pain management techniques to use with your patients or yourself * The importance of the bio-psycho-social model in reducing pain and accelerating healing * How to produce significant pain relief by changing the way people think about their pain – in minutes * An understanding of the value of pain displacement and how to use the brain’s ‘reality simulator’ * What the latest neuroscience tell us about the experience of pain * How to use guided imagery, relaxation and distraction to promote chronic pain relief * How to deal with constant pain and promote healing * How healthcare professionals can make their consultations more therapeutic * How to avoid labelling patients’ pain as ‘purely psychological’ * The many myths about pain – and why some well-intentioned pain management techniques don’t work and more… No prior medical knowledge is needed for you to benefit from the day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE PROGRAMME The ‘Effective Pain Management’ live online course starts at 9.15am and runs until 4.00pm.
