Online GroupsIn a time of social distancing, human connection is as important as it has ever been.
In response to the temporary closures of HVN groups during the Coronavirus Pandemic, the Pacific Rim Hearing Voices Network is now hosting online HVN groups for Washington State, Oregon and Pacific Islands. These experiencer-facilitated social groups are for people who have encountered voices, visions, extreme states, unusual beliefs or any other unshared reality. These groups are also open to people who directly support someone at home (like a spouse or family member) with these experiences. All frameworks are welcome. These online groups fully adhere to the Pacific Rim HVN Charter. These groups are non-judgmental, do not assume illness, and are not considered treatment or therapy. Pacific Rim HVN groups are social gatherings for people with lived experience to come together and share those experiences in an atmosphere of open-mindedness and mutual respect. Sharing your story, as well as receiving feedback from others, is always optional. Our groups are hosted on Zoom and are available via computer, tablet, smartphone or landline. |
