Chronic pain is a family affair. The pain person's suffering manifests itself within the family unit, creating additional problems. Members of the family must deal with their own "pain" and stress resulting from the circumstances.
The ACPA Family Manual is designed to help family members manage their lifestyle changes and difficulties due to living with a person in chronic pain and begin to rebuild a mutually supportive family unit.
