What Can We Learn from People Who Hear Voices in Georgia


April 5, 2017

A panel discussion with Gail Hornstein, Jacqui Dillon, Gina Nikkel, Caroline White and Marty Hadge

Please join us for a lively panel discussion exploring how insights from people who have been diagnosed with psychiatric illnesses are raising fundamental questions about mental health, community and human experience.

What is the Hearing Voices Network? People who hear voices, see visions, or experience other unusual perceptions or thoughts have long been diagnosed as psychotic and given a poor prognosis. For the past 25 years, the Hearing Voices Network (HVN), an international collaboration of professionals, people with lived experience, and their families and friends has worked to develop an alternative approach to coping with voices, visions, and other extreme states that is empowering and useful, and does not start from the assumption of chronic illness (see www.hearing-voices.org, www.hearingvoicesusa.org, www.intervoiceonline.org, www.OurVoicesRaised.org).Hearing Voices Peer Support groups are transforming the lives of people all over the world, allowing them to understand and cope with experiences that may long have confused or frightened them. Many have spent years in the psychiatric system yet are still suffering. These groups offer a crucial alternative, allowing the transformational power of relationship to foster a deeper understanding of personal experience.

COME AND LEARN A NEW WAY OF THINKING!
