SUPPORT ENGAGEMENT AND WRAPPING UP Gathering Insights and Getting you Ready for Real World Management
Support Week encourages the involvement of friends or family who offer their support, giving them an opportunity to interact with the group and presenters to learn how to assist you as you enter the post-programme phase. In the final week, we conclude our discussions and send you on your way, equipped with the tools you need for greater control and pain management
