Chariho Task Force Pain Management Awareness

Chariho Task Force, 2018

Approximately 1.35 million young athletes suffer a sports related injury every year¹. Many of these injuries will have some degree of pain associated with them, and will often require pain management. The South Kingstown Partnership for Prevention is participating in the pain management awareness campaign thinkaboutpain.com (TAP) which encourages the parents, guardians, and coaches to educate themselves on pain medication when they are prescribed to an athlete.
