This report summarizes the successes, key deliverables, and messages from the Youth in Pain Project, including highlights of the project’s tools, key events, and impact.

Solutions for Kids in Pain is on a mission to improve children's pain management.

SKIP is mobilizing evidence-based solutions through coordination and collaboration.

Canada is a world leader in children’s pain research, but new knowledge and effective treatments for pain aren’t consistently put into practice and policy. As a result, children suffer from undertreated and preventable pain that leads to many immediate and long-term problems.

Procedural pain management in children & youth

“I would like to see prescribers pay as much attention to the pain kids have as they do to the potential complications of opioids. Families and patients need to be involved in weighing the risks and benefits of whether these medications should be taken, as opposed to being made to feel we are bad for trying to get medication that works.” – Parent partner

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Our Kids’ Health designed to establish a ‘Pain Education Hub’ on Our Kids’ Health’s platform. This Hub will provide culturally-adapted, community-led knowledge mobilization resources for a variety of cultural-linguistic communities. This initiative is supported by Dalhousie University’s Next Wave Fund.

Solutions for Kids in Pain (SKIP) and the Health Standards Organization (HSO) are pleased to announce Canada’s first national Pediatric Pain Management standard, establishing a set of guidelines for the delivery of pain management for children from birth to 19 years. The standard provides guidance to health care organizations on how to deliver equitable and quality pain management across hospital settings!
