      Dear Jacqui and others.... Jacqui, I seem to have lost your card! Anyway lovely to see you in Copenhagen on the 1st of this month. Can I get a copy of you Voice Hearing Facilitator Training programme? I´d like to see it with view to prepare the voice hearing groups that I participate in, in becoming true self-help groups. We have experienced the need to maintain self-help groups and I was inspired by your talk in Copenhagen on the matter, now I´d like to place emphasis on training a few group members in becoming facilitators and wondered if I may draw on your expertise? Thank you! That is if you get this mail, Jacqui. Otherwise thank you to whoever reads this and will be kind enough to pass it on to Jacqui! Kind regards from Pia Koefoed Annat Århus Denmark
