Young Voices Study Science Animated - A Video for Healthcare Professionals

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. This was a key finding of a research project with Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester. In 2019 Voice Collective worked 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.

See the other videos for teachers here.
