- Self-Help
The essence of self-help is the mutual help on the base and in the case of identical causes of concern.
Self-help means to shoulder its own problems and to find a solution within the framework of its own options.
In self-help groups, people are meeting, because they are bound by a subject, suffering from the same illness, handicap or psychological conflict situation. Also relatives (of concerned individuals) can organize in self-help groups.
In the Rhine-Main region and East-Hessen there exists a great variety of self-help initiatives. The spectrum of such activities is far reaching and comprises groups of quite many relevant themes.
