These meetings are in alphabetical
order. If you like, you can search for a specific word or phrase
on this webpage, like "Drum Circle" or "Wednesday"
by using your web browser's "find" function. In most cases,
this starts by holding down the key that says "Ctrl" and
then tapping the "F" key. You can let go of both. There
should be a small pop-up which allows you to type in the word you
are looking fnor. Type it in, and if it doesn't automatically bring
you to the first example of your word, hit the "Enter"
key. Hitting "Enter" again will bring you to the next
occurrence of the word for which you searched. |

Hearing Voices Support Group |
Support Group for Voice Hearers |
| |
Starts August
10 |
Wednesday |
1:00p-2:00p |

When it comes to hearing voices, the Hearing
Voices Network asks, "What does the experience mean to
you?" In this movement, the experience of hearing voices
is seen in its relation to problems in life history. Hearing
voices is not necessarily an indication of mental illness,
and many voice hearers do not have symptoms which would lead
to a mental health diagnosis. If hearing voices interferes
negatively in a person's life, the person can learn strategies
to cope with the experience, often by confronting the past
problems that lie behind it. |
