Chronic pain affects one in five people and is notoriously hard to treat. Evidence supports the use of non-pharmacological methods to improve participation in daily activities and enhance quality of life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is effective in helping pain sufferers develop self-management behaviours guided by the values important to them. This workshop equips health professionals with the knowledge and skills to integrate ACT into their clinical practice, and to improve outcomes for chronic pain sufferers.

About the presenter:

John Moffat is a clinical psychologist with a special interest in the application of ACT to behavioural health, particularly with people suffering from chronic pain and other persistent medical issues. He has extensive pain management experience within the public and private healthcare systems, and developed a group-based ACT programme for chronic pain in 2012. John is currently the Lead Clinical Psychologist with TBI Health, one of New Zealand's largest integrated healthcare providers.
