Based on my
informal discussions with lawyers and the business community over the past year, it appears that the deal - making phase, lawyers pay a lot of attention to the terms of the deal but give much less thought to what happens when conflicts or unexpected
events occur during the course of the arrangement.
SELF - HELP Self - help generally refers to groups or meetings that: involve people who have similar needs; are facilitated by a consumer, survivor, or other layperson; assist people to deal with a «life - disrupting»
event, such as a death, abuse, serious accident, addiction, or diagnosis of a physical, emotional, or mental disability, for oneself or a relative; are operated
on an
informal, free - of - charge, and nonprofit
basis; provide support and education; and are voluntary, anonymous, and confidential.
