In Group work “as members become involved with one another, they develop helping relationships and take an interest in each other and participate in the group activities”. The mutual aid processes that unfold in a group context help group members.

• “To experience their concerns and life issues as universal,”
• “Reduce isolation and stigma,”
• “Offer and receive help from each other,” and
• “Learn from each other’s views, suggestions, and challenges”
