Link The Intervoice Network: an International Community for Voice Hearing
The Intervoice Network focuses on improving the life of voice hearers, through the development of an international, online community for voice hearing, using methods co-developed by voice hearers and professionals. Engagement of the people involved is emphasized, along with consideration of community members as experts on their own experiences -- viewed first as people, secondly as equal partners, and thirdly as having differing but mutually valuable expertise-- either through direct experience with hearing voices or through working with voice hearers.

Lynne Salvi, psychiatric survivor

Lynne M. Salvi [1963 - 2011] was an activist with MindFreedom Lane County. She experienced 24 years of human rights violations in the mental health system. Lynne said, "Since finding MindFreedom and becoming a member, my life changed dramatically. I found many people who understand through experience without words. MindFreedom feels like a reunion of family I never knew before. This connection and encouragement give me the courage to speak out. I am grateful to find myself using those painful experiences to help others. Today I am medication-free and psychiatrist-free for the first time." See "Related Content" below for writing by Lynne.
