I think you mean self-help, but without context I can �t really be sure.

I �d also say self-help

To help oneself =ayudarse
To help each other=ayudarse mutuamente.

I think the translations are fine. I don �t know if you possibly use this online dictionary, wordreference. It �s one of my favourites, as, apart from translations into many languages, it has a fantastic forum where people share questions and solutions.

Thanks!!! You �ve been really useful.  It �s to speak about someone who has joined a special group where people learn to be independent and find the solution to their problems by themselves. 

Thanks all of you again!!!!!!!!! Thumbs Up

It �s "self help" and in your case since it �s a group thing, it would be a "self help group".
