Self-Help Groups
No life is without its crises. Illnesses or personal difficulties can turn into problems that you can no longer solve on your own. Self-help groups are discussion groups where people facing the same or similar difficulties come together, share their experiences, encourage one another, and work together to find solutions.
East Hesse Self-Help Office
The Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband’s East Hesse Self-Help Office serves as the contact, counseling, and information center for supporting self-help initiatives in East Hesse. Here, people looking for a self-help group can receive counseling and information.
