Abstract
This presentation describes preliminary outcomes for PaCC, a brief intervention for parents of adolescents with chronic pain, targeting caregiver burden by teaching self-care and parent-child communication skills. Results indicate significant pre- to post intervention improvement after this brief series of parent-focused workshops. Implications for future family-centered program development are discussed.
