HEARING VOICES NETWORK AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND
We believe that hearing voices is a normal variation of human experience.It is estimated that between 3-5 % of the population hear voices, yet less than 1% are ever diagnosed with an illness. Through our groups and research collated by INTERVOICE, we know that the content is often the same. the difference is in how the voice hearer deals with them.We bring together voice hearers to discuss what they have in common. So that voice hearers who are well can share their stories and ideas with those that are distressed by the experience. People have always heard voices and had visions, since time began. We believe that hearing voices in itself is not an illness. If you would like to attend a support group and find out more, they are listed below.
In New Zealand we are an Independent society, and a registered charity.
