Social workers bring a holistic perspective to their work and appreciate the importance of mind body connections in health and wellbeing.
This webinar opens up the world of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) and its relevance to contemporary social work practice. PNI studies how thoughts, emotions and health are intimately linked. Join Dr Judy Lovas a passionate PNI educator, to explore evidence of mind body interactions and how PNI supports a holistic, scientific clinical approach for clients who have chronic conditions.
This action-packed 2 hours introduces PNI, its historical development and current importance. It explores evidence in communications between nervous, endocrine and immune functions and explains mind body interactions at cellular and molecular levels. This webinar includes the latest understanding of links between distress and disease.
Building on this knowledge, Judy reviews leading PNI research in psychological interventions, lifestyle changes and health. Participants will consider clinical practice through a PNI perspective and explore the “how” of applying PNI during the webinar.
Topics:

Social workers and allied health professionals who wish to understand interactions between cognition, emotion and immunity and gain deeper understanding of links between mental health and physical well-being.
