World Hearing Voices Day 2011 | Intervoice

Wednesday September 14th 2011

Somewhere between 4 and 13% of people hear voices that others don’t. Despite this, voice-hearing remains a stigmatised and isolating experience in many parts of the world.

World Hearing Voices Day celebrates hearing voices as part of the diversity of human experience, increasing awareness of the fact that you can hear voices and be healthy. It challenges the negative attitudes towards people who hear voices and the incorrect assumption that hearing voices, in itself, is a sign of illness.
