This pilot randomised controlled trial aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an intervention program promoting Mental Health Literacy. A 10-week group treatment, 90 minutes each session, for adults and older adults with Chronic Pain. Half of the participants will receive the intervention immediately (experimental group), while the other half will not receive it initially. Still, they will receive it after the main phase of the study is completed (control group in waiting list). The intervention focuses on increasing Mental Health Literacy and reducing maladaptive beliefs and behaviours associated with pain. It also explores mechanisms and moderators of change.
