Abstract

The increased availability of lower cost computers and the Internet is making it possible for needed new types of mutual aid self-help groups to now develop online. Many of these groups were previously unavailable in the community as traditional face-to-face groups. For those interested in starting such a computer-aided mutual help group, or helping others to develop one, here are some suggestions for more easily doing it. These ideas can also be used by existing traditional self-help group organizations interested in expanding their outreach online.
