The Hearing Voices Project team based at the University of Chester and funded by Health Education North West has launched the “Hearing Voices: A Guide to understanding helping and empowering individuals” Mobile App.

The app is designed to simulate the experience of hearing voices and was designed “by pooling the expertise of a wide range of healthcare professionals, learners and voice hearers.” As users engage in this experience that are guided by reflective prompts and interactive exercises. The app also includes podcasts featuring the stories of people who hear voices.

It can be downloaded for free from the Apple app store and Google Play.
