Esther Ghey, mother of murdered teenager Brianna Ghey, has called for mindfulness lessons to be implemented across the UK.
Drawing inspiration from Wales' current educational focus on health and wellbeing, Ghey spoke at a mindfulness conference in Bangor, Gwynedd, sharing how the practice has helped her cope with her grief.

Ghey believes integrating mindfulness into the curriculum could benefit more students.
Currently, about 100 UK teachers are trained in mindfulness, and schools in Liverpool and Warrington have started teaching it.
Although the 2022 Welsh curriculum emphasizes health and wellbeing, it does not mandate mindfulness lessons.
