This descriptive study examines the attitudes and experiences of students at a midwestern public university who attended self-help group meetings to fulfill an undergraduate social work course requirement and to promote professional preparation for social work and other helping professions. Questionnaires were administered in two social work courses, and self-assessment papers submitted by social work students were used to gain insight into their perspectives related to self-help groups and to understand their personal experiences before, during, and after completing the assignment. The outcome revealed the impact that attending self-help group meetings had on students, the personal and professional knowledge they gained, and the vital role human service professionals, especially social workers, play in supporting self-help groups. The experience triggered a powerful and personal journey where students confronted their fears and biases, gained a more compassionate view of addictions and mental health, and walked away with an improved sense of self-efficacy.

Self Help Group

Self-help groups are a relatively new and very useful aid to the bereaved. The movement does for the bereaved what the development of the hospice did for the dying a few years ago, in that it creates community, puts the locus of control on the individual, and emphasizes interaction and growth. Some of the literature on self-help groups raises the question of the role of professionals in the self-help group since such groups are different from, at some points antithetical to, and in practice occasionally resistant to professional intervention. This paper grew out of our experience with a local chapter of the Compassionate Friends, a group of bereaved parents. It is an attempt to show how professionals can work within the self-help movement despite the gap between the self-help ideology and our own. We have sketched five areas in our work which seem to have been useful to our TCF chapter: 1) intermediary between the group and the professional community; 2) articulating the group's ideology to the group itself; 3) resource person in program planning; 4) facilitator of group processes and organization; and 5) research. This paper also explores the topic of referral to professionals for parents in acute grief expressing itself in psychotomimetic behavior.
