AMERICAN SELF-HELP CLEARINGHOUSE

By retrieving and/or utilizing information for the American Self-Help Clearinghouse database, you agree to hold harmless American Self-Help Clearinghouse, its owners and employees from any and all liability arising directly or indirectly from your use of the information contained in the database. You be the judge. The Self-Help Clearinghouse does not evaluate or rate the individual self-help groups which are contained in the database. Therefore, Self-Help Clearinghouse’s listing of a self-help group does not constitute an endorsement of that group. Neither does an omission signify disapproval. We include groups in our database based on a report of their organizations as being focused upon a no-fee mutual aid, i.e., members helping one another. The use of any information is entirely the responsibility of the reader. You are the ultimate judge in deciding whether the group is appropriate to your needs. You can send for and review literature or call the phone contact. Self-help means more control, and more responsibility, in your hands.
