Abstract

Self-help groups, e.g. for breast-feeding support or postnatal depression, can be an effective resource for clients. They can also be an effective use of professionals'time in primary care. A health visitor offers practical suggestions for starting and guiding a new group, including the need for professionals to think creatively and flexibly about group structures. The advice is to keep these simple, audit regularly and allow the groups to evolve.
