Empowered Relief Train Your Brain Away From Pain

"Empowered Relief" certification workshop: March 15-16, 2019

Where: Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA

Who may attend: All healthcare professionals may register

Why: Become certified to deliver an evidence-based single-session pain relief class that reduces pain catastrophizing and has broader benefits.

Fees: $210 total ($175 training; $35 admin fee)

Developed by Beth Darnall, PhD, "Empowered Relief" (TM) has been embedded into clinical care pathways at Stanford University since 2013. Early positive scientific results (Darnall et al, J Pain Res 2014) led to major NIH funding to study further the benefits and mechanisms of the single-session pain relief class. The class is manualized, research-grade, and ready for immediate implementation into your clinic or research study.

To Register: Each interested party must complete an individual registration form and submit payment. Payment is non-refundable but is transferrable to a future workshop.

To preserve an intimate learning environment, workshops are limited to 25 registrants. There will be another workshop scheduled for Summer 2019 (dates TBD). Email us if you would like to join the interest list for the Summer workshop. You will be notified via email once registration opens.
