Live Online Webinar
Capability Level: Established
Social workers bring a holistic perspective to their work and appreciate the importance of mind body connections in health and wellbeing.
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines the intricate connections between the mind, body, and immune system. Through scientific research, PNI has demonstrated that our thoughts, emotions, and immune responses are intricately linked at the cellular and molecular levels. By understanding these connections, we can gain valuable insights into how mental and emotional states impact our physical health.
In this webinar, we will explore the extensive research conducted in the field of PNI, uncovering the evidence that supports the mind-body connection. We will discuss how thoughts and emotions can influence immune responses and overall wellbeing. By examining the interplay between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, we will gain a deeper understanding of the complex interactions that shape our health.
Moreover, PNI provides a valuable framework for an integrative approach to mental health and physical wellbeing. By recognizing the interconnectedness of these systems, healthcare professionals can develop comprehensive treatment plans that address both the psychological and physiological aspects of their patients’ health. PNI encourages a holistic perspective that considers the impact of stress, emotions, and social factors on immune function and overall wellness.
We will delve into the core principles of PNI and explore real-world applications of this science in healthcare settings. By the end of this short course, you will have a better understanding of the science behind PNI and its implications for promoting mental health and physical wellbeing. Join us as we uncover the fascinating world of Psychoneuroimmunology and discover how the mind and body are intricately interconnected at a cellular and molecular level.
Who should register? 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. This webinar is particularly relevant for those wishing to learn more scientific evidence in why thoughts, emotions and health need to be treated together.
