Self-help
organisations can be a wonderful support to individuals (and their families)
suffering from of a wide range of health and lifestyle problems.
OUR AIM:
- We aim to produce a comprehensive directory of as many of those self-help
groups in the UK as we can and, where appropriate links to their websites.
- We hope eventually, with YOUR help, to include more organisations
and groups from abroad as well as the UK.
So please email us with information of your support group - whatever the
health problem it relates to and we will include it in the list. If you
know of instances where details have changed, please send us updated information
as soon as possible. We do not have personal knowledge of all the groups
in the directory and cannot be held responsible for incorrect information
etc. All the information we include is provided in good faith - and we do
hope you find it useful.
Do you
run a self-help group for people with health related problems?
If so, we can include a free link either to your website, your e-mail address,
or your
address. Click here,
complete the details form and click send.
