Emily’s Voices Book Launch

Join us as we celebrate the publication of ‘Emily’s Voices’ by Emily Knoll. Roz Austin, who is writing as Emily Knoll, will be reading passages from the book alongside a talk by Dr Jonathan Gadsby (Research Fellow, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Birmingham City University) on the subject ‘Emily’s Voices: Conversations’. Writer Dennis Hamley will be introducing the event.

Emily’s Voices

Emily’s Voices tells Emily’s story of her struggle with hearing voices and her journey through the mental health system. Emily’s voices are distressing, but her therapist and close friends help her to challenge the voices, and to confront some of the self-stigma which she feels about being a voice-hearer. Emily must find a way of accepting that she hears voices, or she can’t be in the world – but it’s a confrontation that takes all of her newfound strength and resolve. Emily has to learn to create boundaries with the voices.

This event is free to attend and everyone in welcome. There will be an opportunity to mingle with guests at the end of the talk with refreshments. Please register in advance to confirm your attendance. For all enquiries please email [email protected] or call our Customer Service Department on 01865 333623.
