Former Counseling Center staff member to discuss mindfulness

Susan Funk, a former member of the University’s Counseling Center, will talk about mindfulness at 2 p.m., Monday, Nov. 16, in the Student Union, Room 200.

Funk is a clinical psychologist specializing in providing treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression and spiritual and existential concerns; she integrates mindfulness practices into most of her work. She said her passion is to help people find some peace in their busy and often chaotic lives; get connected to their true, authentic selves; and learn how to listen to the wisdom of their bodies, minds and spirits.

During her UNC Charlotte tenure, Funk was a psychotherapist, the practicum coordinator, supervisor and trainer of practicum students and pre-doctoral psychology interns and coordinator of at-risk gatekeeper training for suicide prevention.

The Office of Spiritual and Religious Life is sponsoring this talk.
