HOSPITAL PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Children who suffer regular or even constant pain due to chronic illness can experience devastating mental health effects. As children miss out on school and social milestones, they can develop severe depression, begin to self-medicate with harmful substances or even deliberately harm themselves. To help prevent these outcomes, BC Children’s Hospital is investing Family of Support funds to develop a program – PainCare 360 – designed to simultaneously manage pain and monitor mental health. PainCare 360 represents a foundational step in a journey to transform pediatric pain care.
