HELP PAIN Development Team. This project involved the collaboration of two community-based organizations, the Michigan Association of School Nurses (MASN) and the Health Department of Northwest Michigan (HDNWM), with the academic partners at Michigan State University (MSU) and Akron Children’s Hospital. The two community-based organizations (MASN and HDNWM) overlapped and interacted through shared members, while each organization worked with academic partners directly and separately. The funders of this project, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Health Endowment Fund, worked with the project leader at MSU to fund this project. In addition, the academic team established partnerships with specific schools (and their district administers) through HDNWM. The school administrators involved in this project were from Ellsworth Community Schools, Concord Academy of Petoskey, and Alanson Public Schools.
