How can you not worry about your health?
Most of us worry about our health from time to time. Maybe we’ve
read an article about an illness in the newspaper, or heard about a strange
disease, and wondered about our own body and health.
In her talk, "How can you not be worried about your health?" Dr. Heather Hadjistavropoulos will discuss factors that can lead some of us to become worried about our health and describe common strategies recommended for dealing with health anxiety.
Hadjistavropoulos is a registered doctoral psychologist, professor of psychology, and President’s Scholar at the University of Regina. Her research is focused on assessing and treating psychological problems that may impact health, and understanding and improving the quality of health care in an attempt to reduce the burden of illness. A recipient of the Canadian Psychological Association’s President’s New Researcher Award and the Canadian Pain Society’s Early Career Award, Hadjistavropoulos is currently funded by the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation and the Canadian Institute of Health Research.
|This latest installment of the Faculty of Arts’ popular Coffee House Controversies series will take place Thurs., March 1 at 7:30 p.m. in Chapters bookstore behind the Southland Mall (2625 Gordon Road).
