This is an innovative training course giving facilitators the necessary skills and confidence to set up and sustain a peer support group for people who struggle with Paranoia & Beliefs.
London’s network of Paranoia & Beliefs Groups is the legacy of a 3-year-funded project which ended in 2014. By the beginning of 2015, there were 20 Paranoia & Beliefs groups, and there are still more than a dozen operating. It is clear from their continuing success, that the ‘Hearing Voices’ approach – where support is provided by peers in a group setting and expertise is located firmly with group members themselves – transfers easily and effectively to help people cope with alternative beliefs and realities. This 3-day course will equip you with the skills and confidence to set up a new group or help facilitate an existing one.
