About The Group

This group provides a safe and supportive space for all kinds of people experiencing anxiety. It is an opportunity to share how anxiety affects you and enable you to find ways to manage it through sharing coping strategies with other group members.

Often people find talking to others that have similar lived experiences, comforting and helpful, breaking the sense of isolation that can come with suffering.

People who use Mind in Camden's Anxiety Group may experience anxiety linked to different forms of mental ill health, trauma, or other adverse life events.

About The Group

A a safe haven where people who hear, see or sense things that other people don’t can feel accepted, valued and understood.

Somewhere between 3 and 10% of people hear voices, see visions or have other unusual sensory experiences. Mind in Camden's Hearing Voices Group understands that voice-hearing is not, in itself, an indicator of mental illness - instead it can instead be as a meaningful human experience that has many possible origins.

People who use Mind in Camden's Hearing Voices Groups may hear voices or see visions linked to different forms of mental ill health, trauma, cultural or spiritual experiences, dissociation or adverse life events. Some may view their voices as problematic, whereas others may find them helpful and wish to have somewhere safe and confidential to talk about them. A key aspect of the groups is providing space for people to come to their own conclusions about their experiences, rather than feeling pressured to adopt a particular understanding.

Hearing Voices Groups can help reduce the stigma and isolation often associated with distressing voices/visions, support people in making sense of unusual experiences and help members find ways of coping with them.

Hearing Voices Groups at Mind in Camden are members of the National Hearing Voices Network.

A women-only Hearing Voices Group runs on Fridays at Barnes House. Please see below for more information.
