Page updated 10/03/2008
Here we list some useful websites and online discussion forums providing information and support for people who hear voices, family members and workers:
Communicube
The Communicube is a 21st century multipurpose communication tool. Its first use was in therapy with individuals who struggle with psychotic experiences but it soon became apparent that the method could be useful to other clients. Indeed the Communicube is being further developed as a method in therapeutic work with children, adolescents, couples, families, groups, and in team building, education and play; it has other potential uses that are being explored.

MadNOTBad – Website for sharing experiences & creativity
Telling it like it is – from the people who know. This site is the realm of the mental health ‘Service User’ and those close to them – the carer, family or friend. By collating examples of their experiences, opinions and creativity I am hoping to help illuminate the darkness that surrounds mental ill health. To foster the idea that being ‘mad’ doesn’t make you ‘bad’ and that it’s ok to talk about it. Let’s challenge the stigma.
