Self-help groups
For many problems of health care and coping with illness-related, disease-causing and stressful life situations, you can benefit as an affected person or relative from a self-help group. Together with other sufferers, you can exchange ideas about therapy options or receive tips for everyday life.
Anyone can start a support group. It does not require a legal form; it is enough to agree with other people on a topic and certain framework conditions such as place, time or duration.
Addresses and contact persons can usually be found on the websites of your district or city.
Further information can be obtained from the Self-Help Office Lower Saxony of the Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft Selbsthilfegruppen e. V.
