Don't Miss Next MRLC Webinar Jan 14- Alternative Interventions-Hearing Voices Network

NYAPRS Note: Join our presenters as they share how the Hearing Voices Network (HVN)

started and now flourishes as a world-wide movement. HVN is an innovative

approach offering self-led support for individuals who hear voices and

have other unusual or extreme sensory perceptions, such as seeing

visions. Hearing Voices challenges the stigma around such experiences by

offering a supportive environment free from judgment or the assumption

of illness. Our presenters travel the world educating professionals on how they

can use hearing voices methods in their work with people and their

families to promote recovery and community inclusion. Then hear how this

innovative approach has been implemented in two of our NYS program

models, a PROS program at the Southern Tier Integrated Recovery Services, Family Services of Chemung County and the Sterling Community Center at the Mental Health Association in Westchester County.

The MRLC is a special Members only benefit. If

you are not a member and would like to learn more about the MRLC and

other member-only benefits, please contact mary@nyaprs.org. Come join us. We are pleased to be able to offer our members the most up to date information on new ideas and healthcare reform. Join Us!
