When family doctors ask me how to help patients rely less on opioids, I always steer them to these workshops—these are essential skills for working with patients in
pain.
—Lori Montgomery, MD, FCFP, Medical Director, Chronic Pain Centre, University of Calgary
Although we tend to think of CBT as an important therapeutic tool in family practice, I have found it to be extremely helpful in the ED environment as well. I
cannot recommend these medical CBT workshops highly enough!

One of the best training setups I’ve ever seen in hundreds of educational experiences over the past 50 years.
