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.
