One in ten people hear voices.

Voices, visions, or other unusual or extreme experiences may be unique, but they are not uncommon. The Hearing Voices Support Group is a place where people can share these experiences in an atmosphere of acceptance and respect.

An auditory hallucination, or paracusia, is a form of hallucination that involves perceiving sounds without auditory stimulus. Mental health conditions related to auditory hallucinations can be psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia.

As a member of the Hearing Voices Network (www.hearingvoicesusa.org), this group provides a setting where people have the opportunity to share their experiences and benefit from a valuable exchange of first-hand expertise. Members tell their personal stories, listen empathetically to each other, offer support, and suggest strategies.

“I’ve long struggled with intrusive voices. I started attending the Hearing Voices Support Group in 2014. The idea for the Hearing Voices Network was for people to meet others with similar experiences. So it de-pathologizes it. Realizing other people had them too was really helpful for me — and they were reduced by 30%. Now I use it as maintenance for myself.” — Michael, the voice-hearer of the co-facilitators, although he calls them “intrusive thoughts.”
