This method is considered a tool of strategic analysis and planning, which are used for assessing phenomena, phenomena, factors that affect a particular project / organization. As part of this analysis, all parameters are divided into 4 categories: strong / positive side, weak / negative aspects, potential threats, and the potential to be considered by a matrix. It allows us to determine the features and capabilities of the organization / phenomenon / phenomena and identification of external and internal factors that positively influence the achievement of objectives (possibility implementation) or rather hinder its achievement. However, the study criteria and efficiency indicators of self-help groups as a form of rehabilitation, which is a source of social support for people with mental health problems in terms of community self-governing is complicated by the specifics of such groups.
