"What Is Self-Help? ...Self-help groups include people with a common bond who voluntarily come together to share, reach out, and learn from each other in a trusting, supportive, and open environment. The common bond is defined as the collective experience related to being diagnosed as having a serious mental illness (such as bipolar illness, schizophrenia, or major depression) and receiving services from the mental health system ...The role of professionals is to give referrals and engage in other supportive acts outside the group, not to run the groups, which would defeat the workings of self-efficacy."
