Challenging the stigma for people who hear voices in their heads

ext week, on Friday, April 17, the support group, Hearing Voices Network Ireland (HVNI), will hold its national launch at Trinity College Dublin.
Affiliated with the international group Intervoice, the HVNI is part of a growing movement, challenging the stigma around voice hearing. While traditionally associated with schizophrenia and psychosis, many voice hearers are now refusing to live under the label of mental ill health. They are finding wisdom and comfort in the voices they hear, and are encouraging others to do the same.
