SUMMARY:Voices\, Visions & Unusual Beliefs Intensive Overview
DESCRIPTION:Online via Zoom\nThursday January 8th\, 2026\n12-4pm Eastern Time (11am-3pm Central\, 10am-2pm Mountain\, 9am-1pm Pacific) \n\n\n\nLearn new ways of supporting people through the experience of hearing voices\, seeing visions\, or unusual beliefs.\n\n\n\nOne in 10 people will hear voices at some time during their adult lives\, yet these experiences are still deeply marginalized in the modern day United States. About 80-90% of experiences are connected to life adversity\, trauma and grief. Many experiences are also connected to cultural or spiritual factors. \nThis overview will provide an introduction to new ways of understanding and working with voices and visions\, based on the Hearing Voices approach. Trainers will cover factors that can influence voice-hearing\, and explore a range of coping strategies that experiencers use (beyond pharmaceutical interventions).
