Who We Are
We are a network of people from different perspectives and backgrounds who share the common ideal of promoting the Soteria tradition in the UK – a tradition that offers humane, noncoercive therapeutic help with little or no use of medication.
Soteria’s philosophy is based on the belief that it’s possible for people to make sense of and come through psychosis and severe distress, through a compassionate approach involving ‘being with’ rather than ‘doing to’ them.
More information about Soteria UK can be found at www.soterianetwork.org.uk including the history of Soteria Network and current research.
Soteria in Hampshire
A group of people with experience of using mental health services as service users or carers and those interested in the soteria principle have come together to form Soteria Hants. A loosely formed group, growing into a stronger movement. If you would like to join or find out more you can contact them on SoteriaHants@hotmail.com
