Hearing Voices Workshops in February 2016, with Trevor Eyles.
Trevor is the Hearing Voices consultant for the Aarhus district of Denmark, with 15 years experience and widely recognised expertise in the Hearing Voices approach.
These workshops are filled with practical experiences for those interested in learning about using this approach to help live better with their own voices, and those interested in supporting this work.
People who have completed these workshops by Trevor in Denmark and across Europe over the past seven years have gone on to start or develop Hearing Voices Groups.
People must register in pairs – a voice hearer who wants to reduce the distress they experience from the voices, and a supporter (clinician, peer worker, etc.) who wants to learn to work with voices. The fees cover both participants ($210 per day).
