If a young offender told you that they were hearing voices or seeing visions, and they wanted to talk with you about it, would you know what to say or do? Would you like to learn how to open up conversations with young offenders who hear voices or see visions, and learn practical coping strategies to help those in distress? 

This one-day workshop is brought to you by Voice Collective at Mind in Camden. Founded in lived experience and the work of our prisons and detention projects, it will present a fresh approach to voice hearing. Providing an introduction to the Hearing Voices Network ethos and approach to voice hearing, subjects include:

• What it feels like to hear voices as a young person aged 13-20 in a Secure Children's Home, Secure Training Centre or Young Offender Institution, and the impact that this canhave on them afterr they have left
• Different ways of opening up conversations with young offenders about voices, helping them to feel heard and supported
• Simple and effective coping strategies suitable for use in secure settings
• Positive stories of recovery and resilience

This course is suitable for anyone working with young people aged 13-20 in SCHs/STCs/YOIs, or with young offenders after release. It is suitable for professionals at all levels of experience, and we can accept workers from the voluntary as well as statutory sector.

Free to attendees, this Eventbrite page has full further details, including how to book.
