Abstract
Mutual help groups are becoming increasingly prevalent in contemporary America. Nonetheless, a substantial need continues for ongoing mutual support in an era of reduced professional and consumer resources. This article presents brief descriptions of mutual help groups, ideas for creating them, and a call for more mutual help groups among older persons and for researchers to document their extensiveness, impact, and longevity.Keywords
