About Bear Creek HVN

Bear Creek Hearing Voices Network is dedicated to promoting the Hearing Voices Network approach in Jackson County, Oregon and the surrounding regions.

We offer peer-led support groups for people who hear voices, see visions, and experience other forms of extraordinary perceptions and unique realities. We also aim to provide educational events and trainings for family, friends, and those working in the mental health field.

In alignment with the values and practices of Hearing Voices Network USA, Bear Creek HVN seeks to:

• Raise awareness about voice hearing, visions and other “unusual” or “extreme” experiences
• Support anyone who has had these experiences by providing opportunities to talk about them freely and without judgment amongst peers
• Support anyone who has had these experiences to explore, understand, learn and grow from them in their own way
• Support those providing treatment, family, friends and the general community to broaden their understanding and ability to support individuals who have had these experiences

We are part of a global movement re-thinking what’s possible for people in distress. You can learn more about the history of the Hearing Voices Network here.
