Blackpool – Young People’s Open Event (June)

The Hearing Voices Network is working with Shaun, a young person from Blackpool, with a dream. He wants to develop a peer support groups for young people in the Blackpool area who hear voices, see visions or have other unusual sensory experiences. The good news is that these groups already exist in London and Bradford (as part of the Voice Collective Project) and are really valued by those young people (aged 12-18) who attend them.

We’re excited to be running an ‘Open Event’ in partnership with Shaun to help raise awareness of the approach and bring together young people, families and youth workers with an interest in working with us to develop something new for young people in this area.

Saturday 28 June, 12.30 – 3.30pm @ The Oracle (St Annes Road, Blackpool)
