This IN PERSON training will be held in Augusta and you must attend all three days to earn Continuing Education Credit for CIPSS. This training will be presented by the Wildflower Alliance.
In current Western medical paradigms, hearing voices is often a deeply marginalized experience. Those who hear voices and/or see visions are typically given a poor prognosis. Suggested coping strategies tend to be limited to distraction techniques or heavy neuroleptics. Clinicians, voice-hearers, and family members have often felt frustrated by the limitations of this model.
Another world is possible. This training is for anyone who is interested in learning the current research, strategies and supports that are being developed by people with lived experience of voice-hearing world-wide. We will explore:
• How trauma, culture and social factors influence voice-hearing
• Common myths about voices & visions and how to shift these paradigms
• A new dialogue framework to discuss non-consensus reality states in a supportive way
• Dozens of real-life strategies that are used by voice-hearers to cope with a distressing experience
Please read the statement below prior to registering:
We want virtual Maine Intentional Peer Support spaces to be safe, welcoming, and inclusive. Harassment, hate speech, and inappropriate behavior of any kind, verbal or in the chat/Q&A, will not be tolerated.
We reserve the right to immediately remove any attendee we consider to be in breach of this conduct agreement. This includes anyone making racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise discriminatory, offensive, or hateful remarks. Continued conversations that disrupt the topic of the class may also result in removal from class.
Removed participants will not be able to re-join the session, or, if applicable, join any of the rest of the sessions in a day or series of events. In order to avoid the derailing of sessions we will not enter into conversations around why conduct was deemed inappropriate in the sessions themselves.
