Talk for Health's monthly Special events are an opportunity for anyone in the community to come along, learn something new, and experience talking for health.

 

The first half of the special will be led by Sarah Morgan of Voice Collective project Mind in Camden.

 

Q. At least 8% of young people hear voices that other people don’t. If one of them came to you tomorrow and wanted to talk about it - would you know what to say or do?

 

Q. Would you like to understand more about what it’s like to hear voices or see visions, and learn some essential coping strategies that young people can use to deal with distressing experiences?

 

This Special presents ‘Voice Collectives A Fresh Approach to Voice-Hearing.’ Founded in lived experience and the work of the Voice Collective project Mind in Camden, it includes:

 

An introduction to the Hearing Voices Network ethos & approach to unusual sensory experiences

Exploring what it feels like to hear voices as a young person and the impact this can have on their home, school & social life

Ways to open up conversations about voices, helping young people to feel heard

Simple youth-friendly coping strategies

The second half of the special will be led by Talk for Health Trainer and Facilitator, Mirabai Swingler.

 

The second half of the Special will introduce you to, and give you a chance to experience, some of the four key learning areas of Talk for Health:

After this event, you can go straight into a Talk for Health Café, where you will learn peer counselling skills and get plenty of space to talk and get/give support. You can also sign up to the Full 4-day Talk for Health Peer Counselling Programme for a deeper therapeutic and skills-building experience.

 

As always the event is free, but please make aa donation if you can. This has been a challenging year for us and we intend to keep running these workshops free. If you can help us do that we would be very grateful.
