An Introduction to Accepting Voices

Research has shown that many people continue to hear voices even after prolonged use of medication. As a consequence, people who hear voices commonly live lives that are low in quality and high is distress. In the last two decades, voices hearers around the world, working with understanding allies, have organised, to bring together ideas and strategies for a more effective response to these difficulties.
