About

This website focuses on managing pain in children. It describes safe opioid use, including combining them with non-opioid medicines, proper disposal, and avoiding sharing. It highlights the importance of short-term use and storing opioids safely. Psychological therapies like relaxation training can help with headaches in kids. The kit also includes a "Comfort Care Plan" to make hospital visits easier for children by identifying their comfort needs during procedures. PEAK provides resources for healthcare providers to improve pediatric pain management through education, advocacy, and multi-modal treatment strategies involving both medical and psychological approaches.
