Reviews prior to our exciting collaboration and course updates:
“Jamie Shafir’s courses for young people living with chronic pain is a much-needed resource in a community where adolescents are often overlooked. It offers a compassionate, practical, and comprehensive approach, helping youth better understand their pain and equipping them with tools to take control of their experience. Drawing on mind-body techniques such as mindfulness, emotional expression, and cognitive reframing, the program provides strategies to effectively shift their relationship with pain and significantly improve their well-being. The strategies are accessible and empowering, perfectly tailored by Jamie to meet the unique needs of this age group. I am thrilled to see such a valuable resource for adolescents finally become available to the public.”

"Jamie has designed an evidence-based, easy to follow program for helping adolescents recover from chronic pain. Integrating the best elements of leading psychological treatments, combined with a deep understanding of what works for kids and teenagers, she has clearly laid out both the basic knowledge and the practical skills anyone with chronic pain needs to know. This is a terrific contribution, sure to benefit many."
