A Comprehensive Systems Approach to Promoting Mutual Aid Self-Help Groups: The New Jersey Self-Help Clearinghouse Model

• Madara, Edward J.

Abstract

This article describes the programs (including consultative services) offered by the New Jersey Clearinghouse which are designed to address seven primary needs or goals of self-help and professional helper constituencies: e.g., promoting the in creased identification, awareness, utilization, development, understanding, professional interface, and networking of MASH groups. The New Jersey model relies on a computerized IBM System 34 operation, embracing a state-wide data base, a printed self-help group directory as well as toll-free telephone lines within New Jersey.
