Chronic pain is often overlooked, and when it comes to children, it is even more so. The continued neglect of children's pain affects the ability to truly evaluate the extent of the problem and challenges these kids and their families face. The United States Pain Foundation, a pain advocacy organization, conducted a survey to assess how children with a pain diagnosis and their families experience chronic pain, what challenges and barriers they face and what they hope for in their pain care. In this episode, I'm joined by Nicole Hemmenway, the current CEO of the US Pain Foundation and the Founder of the INvisible Project and Casey Cashman, Director of Fundraising and the Pediatric Pain Warrior Program part of the US Pain Foundation. They are strong advocates for pediatric pain, inspired by their own pain experiences. They discuss the findings of this survey, share their experiences with the pediatric pain patients and families that they support through their programs. They also share their hopes and some possible directions to address some of the challenges identified in this survey. As healthcare professionals and clinicians, these findings are eye opening and a call for action to collectively invoke change in the care of pediatric chronic pain. Takeaways In This Episode Chronic pain is frequently overlooked due to its subjective nature Why Ms. Hemmenway and Ms. Cashman got involved in the pediatric pain work, US Pain Foundation and the Pediatric Pain Warrior program The reason(s) that prompted this survey Survey findings How much focus should be on the number rating of the pain and how meaningful, helpful that is. Valuable way to assess and inquire about chronic pain and a patient's progress Psychological impact, extent of mental health issues including self-harm, suicidal thoughts, ideation and attempts amongst pediatric chronic pain patients Burden of disease on the family - financial and psychosocial What therapies do patients and families wish were emphasized more - (Hint: Medications were at the bottom of the wishlist!) Barriers to chronic pain care Psychological toll of having to evaluate whether you can afford a therapy and how it may be/ to address it. Best ways for parents to discuss these barriers with their child's physician Nicole and Casey's message to the listeners Links Nicole Hemmenway Casey Cashman Connect with Nicole Hemmenway and Casey Cashman US Pain Foundation-Pediatric Pain Report 2021 Pediatric Pain Warrior Support Groups U.S. Pain Foundation Pediatric Pain Warrior Register for upcoming Pediatric Pain Warrior Support Group Clinicians' Pain Evaluation Toolkit Proactive Pain Solutions About the Speakers Nicole Hemmenway Currently serves as CEO of the U.S. Pain Foundation, and directs the INvisible Project, an online and print magazine that highlights the experiences of people living with pain.

Total Duration 53:49 Download episode 113 The 'Me Monster' We live in an age of relentless self-promotion. Some people in the workplace remind me of comedian Brian Regan’s sketch entitled I Walked On The Moon (see below). Ever worked with the 'Me Monster?' Whether we realize it or not, we might actually be on the way to becoming one of those 'Me Monsters' as we struggle to stand out in the noise of those who are trying to out do each other. The Invisibles Yet not everyone is trying to out do others. In this episode author David Zweig shares his research into those he calls Invisibles. They love their job. Their satisfaction is in the work itself, not the volume of praise the comes with it. Have you ever felt invisible? That the work you do goes unnoticed? Or at least that there's a lack of appreciation for all that it takes for you to successfully deliver a project? One of the joys of hosting this podcast is finding resources to help you that might not otherwise have come up on your radar screen. I've found David Zweig to be one of those up-and-comers that will inspire us to do our craft better. Enjoy today's discussion with Dave about his book Invisibles: The Power of Anonymous Work in an Age of Relentless Self-Promotion.
