Donate to Portland Hearing Voices

Our groups and resources help people who have unexplained sensory phenomena and who experience extreme states find ways to live with mental difference, and our education fosters greater respect for diversity within the community. Portland Hearing Voices supports our community members to avoid hospitalization, find friendship, gain greater control over our lives, and liberate ourselves from fear, isolation, and discrimination.

We’re helping lead a community transformation with a simple belief: Listen to our experiences. There is meaning in madness, and there is potential growth in our distress. The human mind is far more mysterious than a label or diagnosis could ever encompass, and what gets called a disorder is also intertwined with gifts of sensitivity, creativity, and spirituality. There are many ways to live beyond the narrow medical view of labels and doctors. We are not problems to be solved: we are possibilities waiting to unfold. It is time for us to come out of the shadows, find each other, and take our place as equals in the community.

With volunteers and a small budget we’ve made a huge impact. Please donate to support our important work!
