Many children and adolescents experience chronic pain, which impacts them across all settings in their lives. Chronic pain can adversely impact children and adolescents and pose challenges to them in their everyday lives. Children and adolescents experiencing chronic pain are also at risk for other comorbid, co-occurring conditions that may impact other facets of their health and mental health. It is important for social workers, health care providers, clinicians, and school professionals to be aware of chronic pain and strategies and interventions that can be used to support children and adolescents experiencing chronic pain.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, A Clinician’s Guide to Supporting Children and Adolescents With Chronic Pain and Co-Occurring Conditions created by Christina Marsack-Topolewski in 2024.
Dr. Christina Marsack-Topolewski is an associate professor of Social Work in the College of Health and Human Services at Eastern Michigan University.

She has worked with individuals with various intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) predominantly in a school setting for over 15 years.
