title: Simple coping strategies for people who hear voices.
abstract: High levels of stress are common among people who hear voices, but few receive help to cope with the problem. The reason for this appears to be that many mental health nurses are not aware that there are simple coping strategies that could be used to help these people. Some of these are explained in this article. They represent an example of providing person-centred care, which is at the centre of good mental health nursing.
