Welcome to the Bristol Hearing Voices Network website
The aim of BHVN is to promote positive explanations of voice hearing, intrusive thoughts, and other unusual experiences, and to give people a framework for developing their own ways of coping. In order to cope with their experiences people need to take control over their voices/ intrusive thoughts, and regain some power over their lives.
Please note that the self-help group is for people with personal experiences of these issues.
