Scottish Hearing Voices National Office and Support Service Consultation 7
Page last updated 4/09/2008
Welcome to our consultation
We are planning to set up a national office to support the development of hearing voices groups throughout Scotland and we have written this proposal about what the office would do.
You can read our proposal here.
If you would prefer to see a hard copy of the consultation document you can download it here read it and post your comments to us at SHVN, 216 - 220 Hilltown, Dundee, DD3 7AU.
We would like to hear what voice hearers from Scotland think about our ideas. We know many voice hearers feel isolated and unsupported. We would therefore encourage voice hearers, hearing voices group members, family members, carers and workers to complete the questionnaires, read our proposals and let us know what you think of them. And of course you can also become members of our network. No one needs to feel alone in their experience of voice hearing. It's good to talk!
We would also like to hear from anyone else who is concerned about people who hear voices.
IIf you make a response to our consultation we would be grateful if you would let us know whether you hear voices or if you know or work with someone who hears voices and whereabouts you are from (you don´t need to be specific eg. you can just tell use what what region or district).
