Question 1

Explain what self-help groups are and give two examples.

Accepted Answer

Self-help groups are support groups formed by individuals who share a common problem or issue and come together to provide mutual support, encouragement, and advice to one another. These groups are typically led by members themselves and are focused on empowering individuals to take control of their own lives and overcome their challenges.

Two examples of self-help groups are Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). These groups provide a supportive environment for individuals struggling with addiction to come together, share their experiences, and work towards recovery. Another example is the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), which offers support and resources for individuals and families affected by mental illness. These groups provide a sense of community and understanding for individuals facing similar struggles, and can be a valuable source of support and guidance.
