1)Professionals ”take over” self-help group activities • Professionals ”tame” all attempts for opposite opinions and new ideas • Professionals use self-help groups as a social work or therapy method • Examples in Finland how lay activities in AAgroups become part of official substance abuse care and professional activities (Mäkelä et al. 1996; Niemelä 1999) Marianne Nylund 16.6.2011
2) Self-help groups as independent actors beside professionals • Voluntary and self-initiated action should not be mixed with professional work • Self-help activities are lead by ideological goals that differ from professional social and health work • Public welfare system can provide support and promote different types of self-help group activities by offering meeting places, tools (technical etc.) and financial support Marianne Nylund 16.6.2011
