408 95c5d084-351d-4f2e-aac5-9bb99cc24d0f Voices & Visions: A Straight Talking Introduction Mind in Camden calibre (4.11.1) [https://calibre-ebook.com] 2014-05-05T19:36:05+00:00 <div> <p>So your child hears voices or has other unusual experiences? Don’t panic! You are not alone and neither is your child. </p> <p>Many of the parents we work with tell us that they feel overwhelmed. Understandably, they often search for answers on the internet - but sometimes find the information they receive both confused and confusing. Did you know that around 8% of children and young people hear voices that others don’t? Many more (up to 75%) have one off, or transient, experiences in their childhood. Most aren’t bothered by these experiences, and they don’t need extra support from mental health services.</p> <p>However, even when the voices and visions cause a problem - there is hope. Research shows that 3 out of 5 young people may stop hearing voices within three years. Even those who continue to hear voices can learn to cope with these, going on to live a full and happy life.</p> <p>This booklet is intended to give you some sensible and honest information about voices and visions to help you better understand what your child is experiencing. </p></div> Voice Collective eng psychosocialautonomy
