dc.description.abstractMutual aid counselling is a type of paraprofessional helping that incorporates a reciprocal role exchange in its method. Founded by Dr. Vance Peavy, in 1977, mutual aid counselling is taught as part of an educational course at the University of Victoria. The "I'll help you, then you help me" philosophy utilizes a specific structural format when training mutual aid co-counselling pairs. This study provides the first explorative evaluation of the mutual aid counselling method. Its purpose was to assess the degree to which students incorporated the meeting pro­cedure format and the degree to which the quality and mutuality of that relationship increased after training. This was determined by videotaping mutual aid counselling pairs in a counselling session before and after training. The videotapes were judged and rated by three experienced mutual aid counsellors. The findings of the study show that use of the meeting procedure and quality and mutuality did increase after training. Self-reports by the subjects supported the judge's findings. Maintenance of skills learned, stability of training effects, impact and benefits of the mutual aid counselling relationship in other than university settings, and comparative effectiveness of co­-counsellors as an adjunct to professional helpers are among the questions to be dealt with by further research.en_US
