 The ‘Hearing Voices Network Aotearoa NZ’ is an incorporated society and a registered charity and as such relies on funding and donations to continue our work. You can support our work in NZ by becoming a member of our society or by providing us with a donation. All Donations are eligible for tax deductions as per the charity laws of New Zealand

1) We are an independent society (not part of clinical services). Our committee is voted in each year by our members. All members have voting rights as per the rules of our society. A copy of these is available upon request. 

2) We produce and distribute our printed newsletter to our members and at our support groups. At present this is biannual. We also have a free email list, where we send out information on current events, news items, research and workshops regarding hearing voices.

3) Our website provides information and practical advice and helpful links for voice hearers, family and caregivers. It is a place where we can share information, ideas, news and articles of interest.

4) Our facilitators for the support groups are unpaid volunteers. The support groups we hold are free to all those who attend. Any donation or membership fees received help to provide resources for these groups and for voice hearers in New Zealand.

5) We host public events and workshops available to all, to raise awareness and share practical advice for voice hearers and carers.Where possible we offer reduced rates to voice hearers, to allow them to better access ways to work towards their own recovery and to learn how to love with their voices.

Marius Romme and  Sandra Eschers Research shows that at least 70% of people who hear voices have had some traumatic experience which they connect with hearing voices. ( More recent research has estimated that this figure is much higher - 90%)
