Self-help

There are around 100 self-help groups in Wiesbaden, whose members meet regularly to discuss the illness and its consequences.

Five people put their hands over each other

They are supported by the self-help contact point, which is located in the health department. Citizens looking for a suitable self-help group can also contact this office.

Self-help groups form the social framework in which individual skills are developed to deal constructively with an illness, a disability, mental problems or crises and to overcome them. These are supported by the Wiesbaden self-help contact point.

If you have any questions on the following topics, the self-help contact point of the public health department will be happy to advise you:

  • Finding suitable self-help groups
  • Information, advice, support and qualification of self-help groups
  • Support in setting up groups
  • Provision of group and office space
  • Informing and advising the public about existing self-help services and establishing contacts
  • Advice for group leaders in problem situations
  • Cooperation with and support for the Wiesbaden self-help group working group

In addition, the self-help contact point regularly publishes the "Self-help guide", which can be downloaded free of charge at the bottom of this page. In this guide you will find the contact details of the self-help groups that are registered at the contact point of the public health department.
