Supporting young people who hear, see, or sense things that others don’t.
Voice Collective is a UK–wide project that supports young people who hear voices, see visions, or have other sensory experiences or beliefs.
Get help quickly
As a small, part-time project at Voice Collective, we can’t offer a crisis service. If you feel like you really need to talk to someone quickly, you might want to try these services.
Peer support groups
These are safe, non-judgmental spaces where you can connect with others who might be going through something similar. Click below to find out more.
Online community
If you are between 13-25 you can join our peer support community on Discord and connect with others who may have similar experiences to you.
If you’re hearing, seeing, or sensing things that others don’t, it doesn’t mean that your life is over. You can find ways of dealing with them and live the life you choose.
Learn about our toolbox: it’s full of ideas, strategies, and coping mechanisms to help you.
How do we help?
Supporting children and young people
We have supported hundreds of children and young people over the past few years. This has been through email support, one-to-one sessions, peer support groups and creative workshops. Many have shared the positive impact Voice Collective has had on their self-esteem, reducing feelings of isolation and improving their ability to cope with their voices.
“I just wanted to say I love this space so much. I have therapy and a psychiatrist, which helps, but this group is just so human and I really appreciate this space.”
Supporting family members
We also offer support to parents and supporters of children and young people that hear voices or have other sensory experiences. This is through emails or our parent peer support spaces.
“I just want to say a sincere thank you for this evening’s support group. I came away with so much more understanding of my son’s distress. You gave me great hope for his future, thank you.”
Supporting professionals
We’ve provided information, resources, guidance, and training to thousands of professionals working in mental health, helping them to understand and work with young people hearing voices.
"This was so helpful and taught me to think of voices in an angle I had never thought of before - can voices be helpful …voices are not always a negative sign, that it is okay to acknowledge the voices with the young person, and to ask specifically what the voices say.”
