Hearing Voices Network
Hearing Voices Network USA
The Hearing Voices Network evolved out of a movement that began in the UK in the 1980s, whereby self-proclaimed "voice-hearers" and "visionaries" as well as people with other non-consensus reality experiences joined together to create a new, non-pathologizing approach to mental health. This powerful approach is based in non-clinical peer support groups that are free and offered both in-person and online.
You can hear more about the values of the hearing voices movement in the following videos:
