Professor Weare is a dedicated mindfulness practitioner herself as well as a qualified mindfulness teacher. Her overall field is social and emotional learning and mental health and wellbeing in schools. She is known as an international expert on evidence-based practice and has written some of the leading books in this area and conducted several definitive reviews and led programmes which have informed policy and practice in many countries.

In this interview Katherine offers her expertise and guidance for conveying mindfulness to children, teens and those who work and learn with them. She discusses why mindfulness in school is important and shows how mindfulness makes learning more effective. You’ll also discover how mindfulness can change the brain and make us more compassionate and kind and less reactive.
