There are over 6,750 local support
groups in NJ for many different illnesses, addictions, disabilities,
bereavement, parenting problems, caregiver and other stressful life
issues. Often meeting in community
centers, church or temple basements, the group members share their experiences,
strengths and hopes.
To help a friend, family member or
yourself, the N.J. Self-Help Group
Clearinghouse provides free information on these no-fee support
groups. They also help those interested
in joining with others to help start a needed new group in their
community. For help, call them at 1-800-367-6274 or go to their website at http://www.njgroups.org/.
