Families, are questioning their future and just what they should be doing. This is a very unsettling period for families. Many feel isolated and are unsure of who to turn to for support. Having so- meone to talk to who is going through a similar situation can be very helpful. Self help g caps are designed tg provide just the support you need. • Ideally, a self help group is made up of in- dividuals who voluntarily form a group bas- ed on their common experiences and needs. In this case, it would be other farm families going through a stressful, financial time. As part of a group of about 10-12 people, you could share with each other your own ex- periences, frustrations arid fears. By doing so, you can learn how others may have coped with the situation. Just the support of knowing someone else who is having an equally difficult time, can help you through this trying period. The On- tario Ministry of -Agriculture and Food has prepared a kit on how to start a self-help group. Topics covered include, How Ta Get Started, The First:Meeting, Learning Your Resources, Leadership Guidelines, Keeping Members Involved, and more. If you are interested in starting a self help group or in belonging to- one, you should con- tact Dennis Martin, the self help contact for Huron County.
