Elizabeth Powell

Elizabeth Powell is a psychologist and experienced educator. As Professor of Psychology at St. Louis Community College, she highlighted her major life passion—mental health education. She designed the course “Psychology of Coping Strategies.” She is fascinated with how “finding the right words” can improve so many life problems. In the COVID pandemic, Powell spotted the need to negotiate with others to avoid exposure. This inspired the guidebook, DON’T BE MAD WHEN I ASK ABOUT COVID: FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS. While teaching Human Sexuality during the AIDS epidemic, she wrote TALKING BACK TO SEXUAL PRESSURE, winner of the Award for Excellence as the Best Self-help Book of the Year from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association. Powell’s dream is to air quick public services ads every day, showing role plays of how to handle life’s toughest moments.
