Hearing Voices Simulation

This Hearing Distressing Voices Simulation Session was developed by Patricia Deegan, PhD. During the simulation,
participants listen to distressing voices through headphones while completing common everyday tasks. Participants
sequentially visit 4 stations: a mock emergency room; day treatment center; interaction in the community; and a testing
center. At each station, participants will be asked to complete tasks such as a mental health status exam, a job
application, follow simple directions, answer interview questions and participate in an origami exercise, all while hearing
distressing voices. The session will conclude with a debriefing session where everyone can share their experience and
gain new insights into the strength and resilience of voice hearers.

Registration will open within 30 days of simulation.
