Jane is known internationally for her work with parents and children. She’s also the author of a number of books to which help adults explore and discuss difficult issues with children including one on domestic abuse called 'How Are You Feeling Today Baby Bear?'
Having worked in a role supporting some of the most vulnerable children in the education sector, I am really excited to work with Innovating Minds; an organisation that is so passionate about improving children's mental health and to enable them to strive.
I have amazing family and friends, and love nothing more than spending quality time with them, walking, relaxing and enjoying their company.
My career to date has seen me working in the legal profession for almost a decade, supporting a huge range of clients in a wide array of different matters. I'm really passionate about providing help and support to individuals so that they can empower themselves and create change. Now, as a part of such a pioneering and groundbreaking organisation, I can truly fulfill this in the most meaningful way.
I love to travel and outside of work you can probably find me planning my next adventure to a far flung corner of the globe to add to my list of experiences from climbing a waterfall in the Caribbean to bathing an elephant in Thailand!

Dear Buddy, They said they enjoyed the videos and enjoyed breathing and learning about their brain. They will miss the sessions; they are fun!
Dear Buddy Letter
Pupils liked the videos and colouring in the person worksheets. They wished the course was longer, but whilst participating were relaxed and said they had fun. One of the pupils said that they used the breathing techniques at home. All girls said they would recommend HT to others as it helped calm them down when they felt angry or upset at home.

Dear Buddy, This place is good for your anxiety. You do breathing and it will help a bit. They are nice people.
Dear Buddy Letter
I would say it is a programme to support children in regulating their nervous system, and tools to help children feel safer without asking direct questions that might re-trigger them. Jane Evans was fantastic! Very compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, and presented the training really well. I thought the questions and group work really helped us to step into the shoes of a child who might have experienced domestic abuse and/or trauma. Best training I’ve been on for a while. Thank you!
