Hearing Voices Malta
Hearing Voices Malta
Hearing Voices Malta is based on curiosity...to explore the meaning of hearing voices and of having other unusual experiences. They know that a common explanation that is given to people who hear voices is a medical/psychiatric one. Whilst this view may work for some people, others may feel more comfortable in exploring other meanings such as spiritual, philosophical or creative ones. Of course, this is only to be expected seeing that as human beings, we tend to be so individually unique! They are not after trying to find the truth..that one perfect explanation that fits all. They are not after trying to change people.

World Hearing Voices Day
World Hearing Voices Day
World Hearing Voices Day is celebrated on 14 September each year. It recognises and values the diversity of those of us who hear voices, see visions or have related sensory experiences. It is a day to promote our right to define our experiences in our own way. It’s a time to expand the narrow stereotypes that still exist about voice-hearing – that it should be a source of shame and secrecy. We want to help create a world where people can talk about their experiences with those they choose – and expect an empathic response. We want to promote the idea that voice-hearing is a diverse human experience and that we need to leave judgements and assumptions at the door.
Inspired by Louise Pembroke, a voice hearer and psychiatric survivor from England, we have celebrated World Hearing Voices Day since 2006. Without core funding, World Hearing Voices Day relies on the creativity, energy and passion of our members. Thankfully, our membership is overflowing with ideas and we have witnessed an impressive array of events and activities across the world. These events have included celebrations, social media campaigns, poetry/music events, conferences, marches, stalls and gatherings.
