Athens - HEARING VOICES NETWORK
The part of the Network functioning in Athens has focused on bringing out the central role of the self help group that has been running since April 2010. The group is for people who have heard voices or seen visions and meets every other Friday from 4pm to 6pm at the KAPI building of Nea Philadelphia, Efessou 4 (1st floor).Weekly meetings are sometimes planned and held upon members’ request. One more self help group started at March 2011. The members of the group meet every other Sunday, from 7pm to 9pm, at Pagrati, Ymitou 98.
For the time being, both groups are facilitated by two persons who do not hear voices, but would like to see their contribution as part of a transitional process, until voice hearers feel confident to take over in the near future.
The members and facilitators of the self-help group also coordinate a broader support group of stakeholders, including non voice hearers. The support group meets every month at “Semeli” hostel, Ferron 38, ground floor, main area and has been:
- organising seminars and events in Athens. Most of these events have been organised with the invaluable support and contribution of the UK HVN
- organising presentations and discussions to educate its members and help them familiarise with the ethos and core values and concepts of the HVN
- working to set up a new group (downtown)
- writing up information about the history of the network, main ideas presented in past events and the work of the self-help group
- collecting and translating material produced by the Hearing Voices Movement and other useful resources

At the event “Demanding our rights in mental health: Opening roads of recovery”, which was organized on the 8th and 9th June 2011, by the Mental Health Centre of Aghioi Anargyroi and the Hearing Voices Network of Athens, an initiative was taken, as a result of a broad discussion which took over a large part of the 2-day seminar. This initiative concerned the launch of a campaign against mechanical restraints and the repressive logic and practice in general, which governs psychiatric treatment, as it is implemented in the vast majority of services (in both public and private sector, in hospital wards and housing schemes), but also throughout care facilities for all people facing problems and having particular needs; children, adults and elder people who are being nursed in all kinds of institutions.
