Self Help International Forums

COSHG received the book of reports from the Fifth International Experts conference in Jerusalem in 1999. It has a fascinating collection of articles about self help in different places, including Victoria. Topics range from self help in Israel among immigrants from Africa and the Former Soviet Union to cancer support groups in Hong Kong. It's interesting to see the similar issues and the differences in the way self help groups develop in different cultures. One of the reports was from East Jerusalem.
