January is "National Self-Help Group Awareness Month"

This guide has been developed to act as your starting point for finding every type of national, international, model and online self-help support group that is available. The self-help groups, contained in the database that you can access by keyword in the box at the bottom, can help you find and/or start a support group in your community. Local self-help group clearinghouses can also often help you find or form a group. (For other online support groups and resources, please consult the annotated Directory of Online Resources available at http://psychcentral.com/resources)

Searching The Sourcebook:

To find self-help organizations and groups, enter a keyword or phrase for a particular type of problem. For instance, if you're interested in finding support organizations for depression or alcoholism simply enter either word.

If you don't find what you are searching for using whole words, try searching with word fragments (e.g., "depres", or "alc"). A word fragment search should return more groups than a whole word search (although some of the groups returned may be less directly relevant to what you are searching for).


Alternatively, select a problem area from the sample list of topics below:

Note: A selection in the drop-down box will override any content in the free-form text entry box above.
