Hearing Voices USA

HVN USA is part of an international collaboration between voice hearers, family members, professionals, and other allies toward developing an alternative approach to coping with emotional and mental distress that is empowering and useful to people, and does not start from the assumption that they have a chronic illness.

Although originating around the phenomenon of hearing voices, HVN USA also welcomes and includes people who see visions, or have other unusual experiences.

The Hearing Voices movement, and all that it entails (groups, events, training, etc.), has changed many lives and supported hundreds of thousands of people to make meaning of their experiences and begin to integrate them into full lives.

Specifically, HVN USA is charged with developing national standards for Hearing Voices groups, offering resources both on-line and in person, and increasing access to Hearing Voices-related supports, information and training. 

We are also super excited to share that we will be hosting the next World Hearing Voices Congress in Boston, Massachusetts in August of 2017.

Raising funds to host this conference is our main focus for fundraising at this time.

HVN USA operates primarily as a volunteer organization.  It is guided largely by an active Board of Directors made up of a mix of voice hearers, allies, family members and providers (alongside two European consultants who share the wisdom of their experience doing similar work in the United Kingdom).  The Board includes representatives from 11 different states across the country.

 

Your help (in giving and/or sharing!) is invaluable toward ensuring that HVN USA is able to reach across our country, share information, and create opportunities for everyone to get involved.
