University of Illinois Extension to offer chronic pain management webinar series

University of Illinois Extension will offer “Take Charge of Your Pain,” a six-week webinar series for adults ages 18 and older who live with chronic pain.

Weekly webinars will be held from 1 to 3:30 p.m., with a break included. Sessions will be held on March 5, 12, 19 and 26 and April 2 and 9.

The group-based series will cover topics including medication management, nutrition, pain management and physical activity. Extension describes the program as research-based and requiring full attendance.

“Each week, participants choose from topics such as overcoming worst-case thinking, movement and nutrition, and turn what they learn into personalized action plans,” said Tessa Hobbs-Curley, family life educator.

Additional information and registration are available at go.illinois.edu/PainManagement.
