Finding a Support Group

What is a Self-Help Support Group

About SHARE!

Stories

The Need

• The group’s purpose is to pursue personal growth and change.
• Everyone in the group is a peer.
• There is sharing and/or interaction between members.
• Decisions about the group are made by the group.
• Group leadership is non-professional. Any leadership positions in the group are shared or rotated. Each member of the group could become a leader with minimal training.
• The group is not dependent on a particular person for its continued existence.
• Each member of the group has a right to due process in disputes with the group.
• Dues and fees are nominal, reflecting group expenses.
