U.S. PAIN FOUNDATION HOSTED DAILY SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS AT CAMP FOR PAIN WARRIORS, THEIR SIBLINGS, AND THEIR PARENTS, ALLOWING THEM TO CONNECT AT A DEEPER LEVEL, SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES AND FRUSTRATIONS, AND OFFER ADVICE. SEVERAL EDUCATIONAL AND ACTIVITY PROGRAMS WERE OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK AS WELL.
