History and Our Future

HavenPatWhere we came from…

Pat Webster a psychiatric nurse founded Hearing Voices Network Dundee in 1997, mainly to support her son (a Voice-Hearer) and to fill a local gap in services for Voice-Hearers.  What started as a vision and personal mission soon became a reality.  Pat was supported by a small group of helpers, some of whom are still part of the HaVeN family today.

Over the past 20 years, the HaVeN has grown and is now a registered charity (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation).  Pat has been able to take a step back from the organisation, allowing others to join the team and build on the success of what Pat created.

Today, the HaVeN has six fantastic staff members that support our growing volunteer network and service users.

Our Mission

“To relieve the distress of people living with ‘hearing voices’ and other sensory experiences.  Promoting and supporting people on their road to recovery.”

The Hearing Voices Network Dundee (SCIO) seeks to inspire hope & promote recovery for Voice-Hearers, their friends & families.  Our drop in service is open to all.  No referral is needed.
