Peer support and self help

Self Help UK describes self help, or peer support, as a group of people who have a first-hand understanding of a particular life situation or health issue, such as a long term condition. This may be from their own experience of as a parent, family member, friend or carer. Many people find that it helps to talk to someone who understands because they have been in the same situation.
