Self-Help Group (SHG) program is a pragmatic approach to eradicate poverty. It is initiated as a self-employment program in the jargon of poverty eradication measures as well as empowerment program in the country. The SHG program was initiated in Belgaum District of Karnataka State in 2000 by the Govt. with a view to bring more poor women under this program to make them empowered politically, socially and economically. But the development of Women Self Help Groups (WSHGs) is very slow in terms of its number, membership, accumulation of funds and size of disbursement of funds among beneficiaries. There is a dire need of effective efforts from all sides to make the development process of WSHGs strong and sustainable in the district.

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.
