Intervoice is the International Network for Training, Education and Research into Hearing Voices. INTERVOICE aims to:
- show that hearing voices is a normal though unusual variation in human behaviour
- show that the problem is not hearing voices but the inability to cope with the experience
- educate society about the meaning of voices so as to reduce ignorance & anxiety and to ensure this innovatory approach on voice hearing is better known by voice hearers, families, professionals and the general public
- demonstrate the wide variety of voice hearing experiences and their origins, and peoples’ approaches to coping
- increase the quality and quantity of mutual support available to all people and organisations involved in hearing voices work across the world
- make our work more effective and develop more non-medical ways of helping voice hearers cope with their experiences
