The Hearing Voices group upholds a fundamental belief that there are many ways to understand the experience of hearing voices and other unusual or extreme experiences. We seek to utilize this alternative approach to coping with emotional distress that is empowering and useful to those with lived experience or mental health challenges, and does not start from the assumption that we have a chronic illness. We are a peer support group that seeks to build mutual understanding about voice-hearing and other phenomena common to having lived experience or mental health challenges. We hope to empower each other through sharing our stories and those strategies and coping skills that have benefited us on our journeys.
