Jeannie Bass, CPS, is a voice hearer and someone who lives with other extreme states. She is the Director of Peer Support Services at a public-sector psychiatric hospital in Massachusetts and an advocate and a leader in the Hearing Voices Movement. With over a decade of experience in peer support within clinical and public-sector psychiatric settings, she brings a meaning-centered, connection-focused, human-experience approach to psychosis. Jeannie is a Hearing Voices Network trainer and provides training and speaking for clinicians, attorneys, students, and people with lived experience. Her personal story and advocacy have been featured on NBC, and she serves on the HVN-USA Board of Directors. She is the co-author of the online Active Learning course Reframing Psychosis Spectrum Experiences, currently available, and the accompanying workbook, forthcoming from Cognella in early 2026. Jeannie’s work is grounded in social justice and the belief that voices, visions, and alternative ways of experiencing reality deserve dignity, curiosity, and relational safety within traditional mental health care and in our broader society.
