The Mindfulness Matters faculty group is marking Mindfulness Matters Week Oct. 14–18. To conclude the week of activities, the group will host a live mindfulness activity today (Oct. 18) from 1 to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
N. Marjorie Edguer, assistant professor at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, will lead this mindfulness activity. As a social work practitioner, she trained with a number of mindfulness teachers and used mindfulness practices with a variety of populations and problems. She teaches an elective for social work students on using mindfulness in social work practice, as well as incorporating brief mindfulness practices into all of her classes.
