Hearing Voices Simulation Workshop for Health Care Professionals
The hearing voices simulation deems to be an effective experience offered to health care professionals as part of de-stigmatization of mental illness. An increase in empathy and sensitivity has been verbalized from health care professionals who have taken part in discussion after taking a simulation exercise. Participants will be able to critically review the impact of attained knowledge and experiences for application in their clinical practice when dealing with voice hearers. All activities will be in English so a good understanding of English is necessary. Participants must bring their own headsets. Please note: participants must not have had any previous
voice hearing/auditory hallucinations experiences themselves.
