Hearing Voices New York City (NYC) is a group of people that share a common cause: to promote alternative ways of thinking about voices, visions, and other extreme or unusual experiences (or what is commonly called “psychosis”). Hearing Voices NYC is a partnership of voice-hearers, people with lived experience, clinicians, peer-support workers, family members, researchers, activists, and friends, who work together in close collaboration in order to:

• Expand Hearing Voices peer support groups in NYC

• Educate others about voices in order to reduce stigma, ignorance, and anxiety

• Understand more about the experience of voice-hearing; and

• Improve the mental health care system by promoting alternative methods for helping people recover from distressing voice experiences

HAS THIS PROGRAM BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19? Due to COVID-19, in-person support groups are closed, however, there are still a number of online group meetings.
