The
Manual
Self help groups offer
people who face a common problem the opportunity to meet
with others and share their experiences, knowledge,
strengths, and hopes. Run for and by their members, self
help groups can be better described as "mutual help"
groups. Many such groups are started each week across the
country by ordinary people with a little courage, a sense
of commitment and a lot of caring. While there is no single
formula for starting a group, this class will provide some
general considerations you may find helpful. The focus of
the class will be on setting up the support group and
getting visibility within the community to attract members.

call-in radio shows on relationships, and has written
