Please call the Self-Help Coordinator with any questions about this Self Help Directory and/or if you find that our directory does not contain the kind of self-help group you are searching for.

The MHA Self-Help Coordinator responds to requests for information about self-help groups that exist locally as well as nationally and also gives technical assistance to people in Ulster County who are willing to start self-help groups. This activity is funded by UCMHD in order to meet the needs of people who identify their mental health needs, but are not eligible for services, need support in conjunction with services or simply cannot be served due to an overburdened system. The Coordinator also updates listings of contact numbers in area newspapers so residents can easily access information on self-help groups that meet locally.
