The Frontline Network are delighted to offering this session, Making Sense of Hearing Voices, delivered by Jacqui Dillon, as part of our ongoing Outsourced Training programme.

About this Session

A one-day course exploring the experience of hearing voices and other sensory experiences through the Hearing Voices Approach. Rather than viewing voices as symptoms of illness, this approach values personal meaning, context and relationship. The day offers an opportunity to learn from the stories and insights of people with lived experience, and to develop more compassionate, person-centred ways of responding.
