Pelvic Pain Education and Skills Training for Women Veterans

The Brief ACT with CPP Education treatment provides women veterans with new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions related to pain while also encouraging them to engage in meaningful life activities. The CPP educational component includes information about pathology, risk factors, health outcomes, and treatment that are specific to women's biological and reproductive functioning. Treatment content has been further tailored to reflect the cultural experiences of women veterans (including discussions on the interplay between military culture, perceived social norms, and gender role expectations).
