Abstract		The authors describe the main problems met by relatives and carers of the persons with deep psychological problems, as well as the possibilities to solve them, especially outside institutions. They particularly describe and point out the significance of self-organising and self-help in this field. The experiences in Britain and the USA are compared with the local initiatives. They also describe the experiences that resulted from working with relatives and carers within the Organisation for mental Health ŠENT and from the first national meeting of relatives and carers of the mentally ill which took place in September 1994 in Ljubljana.
