Voices Vic Carers & Family
|
Carers and family members of voice hearers often tell us they need more information and support. Voices Vic is keen to provide this wherever we can, and we recognise that the distress which can be associated with hearing voices is often not restricted to just the voice hearer - but also to those closest to them. In May 2010, Voices Vic partnered with Ron Coleman and a number of organisations to provide four information days about voices for carers and family. These were well received, and we hope to offer further sessions like this in the future. |
