Young Voices Study Science Animated - A Video for Healthcare Professionals

In 2019 Voice Collective worked in partnership with the Young Voices Study and Science Animated to produce three videos aimed at adults who are supporting a child or young person who hears voices. This was a research project at Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester. The study found that the way adults respond when a child or young person first talks about their experiences of hearing voices can have a big impact; it can make a big difference to how the child or young person feels about their voices, visions or other experiences. 

See the other videos for teachers here.
