    This workshop will focus on evidence-based tools and strategies for supporting voices hearers, as well as people who see visions, have unusual beliefs and similar. Research indicating what makes a "good coper" will be reviewed, and the roles of trauma and autonomy will be explored. Material will be presented by individuals who are themselves voice hearers and who have worked with hundreds of individuals and their families to navigate these experiences effectively.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Participants will be able to identify at least two criteria that research suggests makes a "good coper"
    • Participants will be able to explain the relationship between trauma and voice hearing.
    • Participants will be able to identify at least three strategies for supporting voice hearers and people with related experiences.
