The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints offers a 12 week, no cost, group-lead, self-reliance improvement course.
Self-reliance groups combine practical skills with spiritual principles to help people help themselves. Self-reliance groups are usually small, with fewer than 12 people, and are led by a facilitator, not an expert or a teacher. Each self-reliance group focuses on one of five topics: employment, small business, education, personal finances or emotional resilience.
