Abstract summary 

The Sizanani Club is an outpatient psychiatry support group in rural South Africa whose activities appear to have reduced the number and duration of hospitalizations of mentally ill patients. Against a background trend towards decentralization and home-based health care the findings suggest the desirability of expanding the role of such groups.
