These principles form the foundation of the ACPA program and our groups.
ACPA meetings are strictly confidential.
It should be understood that whatever is said in the group will go no further. All members are lay people and do not have the training to perform therapy or give medical advice in the context of the group. It is personal experience with chronic pain that qualifies members to attend group meetings. The ACPA is not designed to take the place of medical treatment. The ACPA works in a trusting relationship with and is a resource to the medical community.
