Description
Self-help has been documented to be cost effective, life-prolonging and helpful. Yet a lack of information about the benefits of the groups and how to access them prevents people from attending self groups.
Self-help support groups offer early intervention for a multitude of serious health concerns which can become much more difficult-and costlier-to treat later on. People who use self-help groups to change unhealty behavior have a higher rate of success than those who do not attend support groups.
