"Recovery is possible and doesn't always mean voices disappearing completely."

Schizophrenia isn’t what most people think it is. In this episode of the Sunflower Conversations Alex Phillips, Mind in Camden , unpacks the stigma, the reality of hearing voices, and why labels don’t define people.

- Voices can be frightening, but they can also be comforting

- Many people live well with psychotic experiences

Talking about mental health reduces fear to build a more understanding and supportive society.

Meet Tom.
Tom uses a Sunflower Extra card when he travels.

Sunflower Extra is a digital personalized card. When it’s tapped, a personal page opens that shares important information about that person and what support looks like for them.

For Tom, this means he can show his phone if someone doesn’t understand his disability, rather than having to explain it himself.

What is a non-visible disability?

Not all disabilities are visible.

Many people live with conditions you can’t see, but that are part of their everyday life.

The Sunflower is a simple way to show that someone may need a bit more time, support, or understanding.

Recognizing it can make a real difference.

See the Sunflower? Here’s how to show support.

1. Be patient, the person may need extra time
2. Offer help, but don’t assume, just simply ask "How how can I help you".
3. Be kind, small acts of understanding mean so much
4. Never ask them why they are wearing the Sunflower

Together, we can make the world more welcoming for people with non-visible disabilities.

Have you seen the Sunflower Extra card?

Your Sunflower lanyard already signals that you have a non-visible disability and may need a bit more time, support, or understanding. The Sunflower Extra card builds on this, helping you share more about the support you need, when you choose to.

Here’s how it works. You carry your card just like your regular Sunflower card. When you want to share more information, simply hold it near a smartphone. A private page appears with the details you’ve chosen to share, so you don’t have to explain things out loud.

More support. Less explaining. More confidence.
