Hi everyone! We were formerly Voice Collective on Bluesky, but we've changed our name to Hearing Voices Mind in Camden so that we can share updates about all of our Hearing Voices projects (posts by the HV team, Sarah, Alex, and Fiona 👋)

Our short guide to supporting students who hear voices is now available as a PDF to download from our website! (along with many other resources you might want to check out) www.voicecollective.co.uk/professional... 😀 many thanks to @lisabortolotti.com for facilitating the creation of this document 🙂

Soon we will be in Durham speaking at the conference 'Contexts of Contextual Safeguarding - Creating safety for adolescents beyond their homes across sectors and geographies'. Excited to share how we navigate safeguarding at Voice Collective, and the issues we see with some safeguarding practices!

A powerpoint slide with the talk title "Stone by stone, and brick by brick": Building an Understanding of Safety and Safeguarding of Young People in the Third Sector From Their Perspective.' with a big blue circle and grey wooden structures as a background.

Do you work in school settings? With the help of @lisabortolotti.com & several members of Voice Collective, we created a little resource to help school staff know a bit more how they can help students who open up about hearing voices (as well as our info if more support/information is needed!)

A bright background with circles and other shapes of different colours. It reads 'Understanding hearing voices: A short guide for school staff' Hearing Voices and related experiences are more common than you think. We know there's a lot of stigma around voices, so if we open up to you, please take time to listen and be kind. Key points: Don't panic, Listen, don't judge, Offer compassion, Involve us in decisions around what would help, Be curious, don't be afraid to ask questions. Created by Chris, Hannah, Oliver and the Voice Collective Team at Mind in Camden in Collaboration with Project EPIC. Contact:hello@voicecollective.co.uk. A QR code takes you to www.voicecollective.co.uk. Page 2 How you can help... Listen actively, use the same language about our experiences as we do and reflect things back to us to check our understanding. Don't dismiss or invalidate the experiences we have trusted to share with you. Different things work for different people - collaborate with us in figuring out what would be helpful or unhelpful. If we don't know what would help, try to offer concrete options we can choose from and try. Try not to view us differently, we are still the same person we were before we told you about our voices. Remember our strengths and capabilities, as well as our struggles. With support, we can still achieve a lot. Be open and transparent. It's ok to not be sure how to best support us, but please explain to us what next steps are and involve us in making decisions about us. Ends with logos for University of Birmingham, the EPIC Project, Mind in Camden and Voice Collective.
