Hearing Voices Ireland
To promote and foster acceptance of voice hearing as a valid human experience
Hearing Voices Ireland is an initiative in setting up a network of self help groups around the country for people who hear voices and interested parties.
HVI had a launch event in Cork in November 2006 which gathered people from all over Ireland for a great start to setting up the network. The launch was entirely at their own initiative and expense.
The positive response from the launch demonstrated that there is a demand for hearing voices groups in Ireland. In particular, they are aware of people around the country who are interested in attending hearing voices support meetings on a regular basis. They are now seeking funding to establish five groups in the following cities – Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford
They have produced a CD of voice hearers talking about their experiences which they want to distribute around the country so that people can learn about the hearing voices approach and how they can join a group. They also intend to publicise HVI through posters and leaflets.
There are currently 3 people in the south and 12 in the north trained as facilitators of self help groups. There are two facilitated groups running in Ireland now - one in Belfast and the other in Limerick. The plan is to expand, particularly in the south so we will have a network of self help groups in Ireland.

Hi, I'm a post-graduate student studying Applied Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, and I'm interested in knowing if there are any members who would be interested in taking part in some research that may shed some light on the experience of voice hearing and perhaps ways of coping. The project is in it's preliminary stages, I would just like to gauge the level of interest first. As the Irish network seems relatively new, this research may help to call attention to your project. I will certainly do my best to do likewise. Please get in touch if you are interested. Kind regards, Joseph Plowman
