Abstract
This paper notes the rapid growth of self-help groups and the potential for co-optation of self-help initiatives on the part of professionals who work with these groups and organizations. The nation's first statewide, computerized Self-Help Clearinghouse is then described, which adapts a variety of high tech approaches from the computer and telecommunications field to referral, consultation, networking and epidemiological research efforts with self-help groups. Through these approaches, the Clearinghouse promotes the growth, development, and accessibility of self-help groups while protecting their autonomy.
