What?
We are offering a chronic pain management program for the fall session with Marie-Claude Ouimet, a nurse with 30 years of experience. The program is based on the “Agir pour moi” (Act for Myself) program and delivered in a supervised format to support you from start to finish. It is offered in person during the day. Only 10 spots are available. Participants must commit to completing the entire program. You will be accompanied and supervised throughout the process by Ms. Ouimet.

Program Description:
The program covers the concept of pain and strategies for managing stress, energy, physical activity, thoughts and emotions, sleep, nutrition, and maintaining change. Short videos featuring inspiring testimonials are included in each lesson to support the theoretical content. The “Agir pour moi” development team wanted learners to feel understood and supported as they start making lifestyle changes. The contribution of patient partners helped add content that normalizes the experiences of people following the program.

The program was developed by Pascale Marier-Deschênes, Assistant Professor at Université Laval and researcher at CIRRIS. Her interest in knowledge mobilization and patient-oriented research influenced her doctoral studies in clinical and biomedical sciences at Université Laval. She completed the co-development of the online chronic pain self-management program Agir pour moi during her doctoral work. Launched in November 2022 on the Gérer ma douleur platform, this program guides participants in applying self-management strategies.
