Changing Minds campaigns to ensure that service
user and carer issues, and the fight against stigma, continue to be
priorities for the College.
The Listening to Voices DVD is a resource for
trainee psychiatrists and their trainers, and other members of the
multidisciplinary team. The film takes you through the patients'
and carers' journey - from first contact with psychiatric services
to recovery and coping - with examples of people's personal
experiences at each stage.
