Living with Voices: Can you help us build an app for young people who hear voices?
We’re looking for a group of young people (aged 16–25) with first-hand experience of hearing voices who would like to work with us to build a pilot version of our Living with Voices app. Later this month we will be running a series of three online workshops in which we’ll co-design the app and develop its features together. Workshops will take place on Monday 21 March, 28 March and 4 April (6–7.30pm).
