Chorley are looking to re start a Hearing Voices Support Group. We currently have an established Hearing Voices group in Blackburn. You will be initially asked to attend the group where staff and HVG facilitors can show you the ropes. Hearing Voices groups are typically, a number of people who share the experience of hearing voices, coming together to help and support each other, they exchange information and learn from each other, They share the same problems and may have similar life situations. The purpose of hearing voices groups is to offer a safe haven where people feel accepted and comfortable. They also have an aim of offering an opportunity to for people to accept and 'live with their voices', in a way that gives some control and helps them to regain some power over their lives.

At the centre we have various support groups and workshops that run on a weekly basis, within the hours of 9-5 and in an evening. We are looking to recruit volunteers who would like to assist with the planning and running of the groups alongside our support development team. You may have a particular experience/understanding of the particular experience that the group/workshop is aiming to support. To look at the full range of groups/workshops that we offer look at activities called emotivate within our monthly activity plan. Click here to view role description
