Mindfulness helped us...classmates of Brianna need it too

THE mother of murdered Brianna Ghey is helping classmates deal with the trauma of her death by organising mindfulness lessons at their school.

Esther Ghey, 37, has called for the sessions for all schoolchildren, explaining how it helped her and Brianna's elder sister Alisha through the "worst days of their lives".

Now students at Birchwood Community High School are being taught mindfulness techniques to help calm racing thoughts.

Esther said: "What happened to Brianna will have caused some trauma for the students, and the teachers as well. I think bringing mindfulness in will benefit the children massively."

Brianna, who was transgender, was murdered by Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe at a park in Warrington, Cheshire, in February 2023. Both have been jailed for life.
