Hearing Voices Network
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hearing Voices Networks, closely related to the Hearing Voices Movement, are peer-focused national organizations for people who hear voices (commonly referred to as auditory hallucinations) and supporting family members, activists and mental health practitioners. Members may or may not have a psychiatric diagnosis. Networks promote an alternative approach, where voices are not necessarily seen as signs of mental illness and regard hearing voices as a meaningful and understandable, although unusual, human variation.[1] Voices are not seen as the problem, rather it is the relationship the person has with their voices that is regarded as the main issue.[2]
