Nine self-help groups are currently using our rooms in Arndtstraße 66 in Leipzig once or twice a week. The regular meetings of the self-help groups are planned and carried out by their members on their own responsibility. The content of the conversation and the activities as well as the organization of the group work are developed and determined jointly by the participants. Each individual member also determines for himself what and how much it would like to share with the group.
Self-help groups (SHGs) can be an important building block in coping with mental and social problems. Mutual understanding, acceptance and trust in a group of people living in a similar life situation help to deal with themselves and their problem better. We therefore support self-help groups organisationally and provide them with advice.
A self-help group is not a therapy. The group does not replace any medical or therapeutic treatment. However, it can be a useful addition to this.
