The Hearing Voices Network was founded in the Netherlands in the late 1980s and now operates internationally. It runs peer-support groups for people who hear voices, see visions, or have other experiences typically labeled psychotic: without requiring that members accept or reject any particular diagnostic framework.
A useful alternative or complement to clinical care, particularly for people whose experiences are not destabilizing but who lack a community to make sense of them with.
