It's no secret that biopsychosocial factors can lead to uncomfortable body sensations, but what does this mean for how we approach pain and health in general? Join us for an interactive session with Psychology PhD Candidate Malee Powell, MS, LMT, to learn more about the biopsychosocial model of pain and how to apply this framework to your daily life.

A partnership between the Illinois Extension and the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute, the Community Seminar Series provides educational seminars of interest to the community each fall, spring, and summer, delivered virtually by graduate students and postdoctoral research trainees. The Community Seminar Series covers health topics driven by public interest, helping attendees make healthier choices and overcome public health misinformation.

CEUs through the Continuing Education Institute of Illinois (CEII) are available.
