Support groups for family members of persons with mental illness have become common in the past fifteen years. Much has been written about appropriate formats and content for such groups, and research indicates that persons who participate in them frequently receive important benefits. However, less has been written about the process of effectively recruiting members for groups. Family members, for various reasons, are often reluctant to take the step of joining a support group. In this article, the authors report their experience in organising a support group for siblings and adult children of persons with mental illness.
