Mental health professionals play a crucial role in the assessment and management of chronic pain, yet barriers at the systemic, clinician, and patient levels often hinder effective interdisciplinary collaboration. Psychological comorbidities such as depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders frequently exacerbate pain perception and treatment outcomes, necessitating a nuanced understanding of psychological interventions in pain management. Sociodemographic disparities further complicate assessment and care, emphasizing the need for evidence-based strategies to address inequities. This course provides a structured review of pain screening instruments, their clinical applications, and their integration into multidisciplinary care. It explores the historical evolution of psychological approaches in pain management, equipping mental health practitioners with strategies to enhance patient-centered, multimodal treatment plans. Through an analysis of pain assessment tools, standardized administration recommendations, and the role of mental health providers in interdisciplinary teams, this training enhances the capacity to develop collaborative, effective, and equitable pain management strategies.
