National Hearing Voices Network - Making Hearing Voices Groups Work

Join us to share wisdom on how to make Hearing Voices Groups work!

In this one day event, we invite you to connect with others who attend, facilitate or are just interested in HVGs! We are aiming to share our wisdom and experiences on how to set up and successfully run these unique groups. There will be an opportunity to share your own reflections and experiences, and to hear from those working with youth, in religious communities, and those facilitating groups online. This event is open to everyone, you do not need to be a member of the Hearing Voices Network or have attended an HVG in order to attend. However, if you are interested in becoming a member of HVN, please sign up here: Join Us – Become a Member – National Hearing Voices Network. The precise agenda is still being set, but confirmed speakers include Neil Caton (Chorley Hearing Voices Group), Fiona Malpass (Mind in Camden), Safia Aslam (Muslim Women's Hearing Voices Group) and Alison Branitsky (University of Manchester).

The event will be followed by our Annual General Meeting (4.15-5.00). We encourage all National HVN members to attend, even if you do not attend the conference. Non-members are also welcome to attend.
