Intersection of Race, Culture, Chronic Disease and Chronic Pain

Wednesday, August 28, 2019 @ 3:00-5:00pm ET (2 CT/1 MT/12 PT)
Description: Up to 50 million Americans live with chronic pain at any given time. Minorities who suffer with chronic and intractable pain are facing widespread stigma and public misunderstanding of the difference between tolerance, physical dependence, and addiction when treating a chronic illness. What roles do race and culture play in prescribing practices, pain reporting and treatment, and psychological outcomes? Because chronic pain can affect one's mental health, counseling can be an integral key in treatment. As therapists who practice within multidisciplinary teams or within the community, what is our role in helping to manage chronic pain management?

Presenter: Sherra´ White, PhD, LPC, LCAS, CRC, CCS, BC-TMH

Sherra´ White, PhD, LPC, LCAS, CRC, CCS, BC-TMH, is the Psychosocial Manager at Levine Cancer Institute. She earned her degrees from East Carolina University, including a PhD degree in Rehabilitation Counseling & Administration, a MS degree in Clinical Counseling & Substance Abuse Counseling, and a MA degree in Health Education. White’s research focuses on decreasing the stigma of chronic pain and chronic diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Sickle Cell Disease and Lupus, clinical techniques for decreasing use of chronic opioids in acute pain management, sexual assault trauma, and reducing the stigma of mental health counseling among African American women.
