Episode Two - Rai Notes on the Mind

In our second episode, we talk to Rai about her experience of unusual beliefs and hearing voices. We hear how these experiences began in Rai's childhood and culminated with a period of frequent admissions to hospital in her 20s; how she found alternative approaches to managing these experiences through the Hearing Voices Network; and the work she now does to improve mental health services.
