Be Mindful Report
I proposed, developed and wrote the Mental Health Foundation's Be Mindful report, which looks at how mindfulness can be an effective treatment for depression and other health issues. The report spearheaded the Foundation's campaign to promote greater use of mindfulness-based approaches in the NHS. It was published in 2010. Visit the Be Mindful website.
