The Hearing Voices Network is a global affiliation of support groups where people who hear voices or see visions can find support and be believed, rather than pushed towards medication. The group was started in the ‘80s and has chapters all over the world, including the Pacific Northwest. One of their fundamental precepts is that trying to convince people that their experiences aren’t real isn’t effective. Kate Hill is the director of the Portland Hearing Voices group. Derek Pyle is the group facilitator for Bear Creek Hearing Voices Network. They both join us to talk about their experiences.
