• Well done on yesterday, great day. Count me in on this, its a very
important initiative, and one that seems to me to have immense potential.

• I was delighted to be able to attend the meeting today. I’m very hopeful that HVI will do great things both for individuals and to help shift traditional thinking in psychiatry. I work as an advocate in Cork and experienced the psychiatric response to my emotional distress many years ago. I have worked in England as an advocate and as a service user. I have been working in Ireland now for nine months. I’m learning all the time and look forward to being able to play a part in letting people know about the network. Deirdre Lillis
• I am not a voice hearer myself but I am very interested in the concepts of HVI. I believe it should be accessible to people both in the community and in patient settings. The launch day has been very informative for me but I would very much like to hear more and be more involved with HVI in Cork especially. Training as a facilitator would appeal to me as I work with the Irish Advocacy network but I would like to see HVI groups in inpatient settings also. But I do see that the ‘medical model’ people could have a problem with this. Please do stay in contact. Avril McMahon.
