What is Maastricht?

The Maastricht Approach, created by Sandra Esher and

Marius Romme with Voice Hearers in the UK, views

hearing voices as a normal experience linked to

personal history. It emphasizes acceptance and

understanding of these experiences to foster relief and

recovery.

Goals of The Approach:

Voice Hearers Will Learn:

• Skills to cope, negotiate, or build positive relationships with voices

• To have pride in their experiences

• To give their voices personal and positive meaning

• To create a life in which the voices become a part

• Skills to make their own choices without being dominated by voices

Training Description:

This training is for providers and supporters to gain

insight into the experience of voice hearing and learn

strategies for supporting a person to navigate their

personal experience with voice hearing.
