Hearing Voices Groups and Paranoia and Beliefs Groups are safe spaces for people who hear voices, see visions or hold unusual beliefs, to meet with one another in an atmosphere of mutual support and respect. They provide people with the opportunity to explore their experiences, make sense of them and find ways of living with them. All groups are based on the ethos of the Hearing Voices Network which promotes an open and accepting atmosphere where all interpretations and experiences are valid.

 

Developing groups that are able truly to respect the full diversity of experience and beliefs can be a challenge. This workshop provides an opportunity for people who have experience of facilitating Hearing Voices Groups to explore some of the key challenges for facilitators and to reflect on their own role within the group.
