How to apply for Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) — Franklin County

Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging (Kerr-Tar Regional Council of Governments)

Who it's for

A workshop for people living with ongoing pain. It is built on four ideas: everyone's pain is different; there are real things you can do to feel better; with knowledge and a bit of experimenting you are the best judge of which tools work for you; and managing your pain day to day rests with you rather than anyone else.

Classes run on a schedule and in a place the agency sets, and they fill up — contact the Kerr-Tar Area Agency on Aging to find the next one near you. The page publishes no fee and no income test; these are Older Americans Act health-promotion programmes, normally free to the participant, but confirm when you register.

People who qualify for one senior program often qualify for others. See everything you may qualify for — free, no SSN, about five minutes.
