How do I start a local Hearing Voices group, network, or community project?
- Trans Care BC has a guide for starting peer support groups – although it’s written with peer support groups for LGBTQ2S+ people in mind, a lot of the information also applies to Hearing Voices support groups!
- The UK Hearing Voices Network has several helpful pages, including Setting up a Hearing Voices Group, Setting up Online Groups, and HVN Groups Charter
