GROW, a community based mutual-help organisation, aims to provide the means for those who have been mentally ill to rehabilitate themselves and grow personally. We measured psychiatric symptoms, group processes, social environment and perceived social support in a sample of GROW group members. We found that GROW does provide the opportunity for and encourages some personal changes and does provide social support. We could not draw any conclusions about GROW's efficacy as a rehabilitative agent.
“成长”是一个基于社区的互助组织，旨在为曾经患有精神疾病的人提供自我康复和个人成长的途径。我们对“成长”组织的成员样本进行了精神症状、团体过程、社会环境和感知到的社会支持方面的测量。我们发现，“成长”组织确实为个人改变提供了机会并鼓励了一些个人改变，也确实提供了社会支持。但我们无法就“成长”组织作为康复机构的效果得出任何结论。
