The World Hearing Voices Congress is an annual event that brings together people from across the globe to explore different ways of understanding and working with voices, visions and other sensory perceptions. Following on from successful conferences in Maastricht, Nottingham, Savona (Italy) & Cardiff – the 2013 is being held in Melbourne, Australia.
We know that, for many, travelling to Australia just isn’t possible. However, those attending from HVN will be sharing the information gained through this site on their return. However, for those of you who are able to be there – here’s the essential information.
Please note: HVN is not organising this conference. To find out more, please see: www.hearingvoices2013.org
