With help from the Lord, members build self-reliance in the following ways:
Develop spiritual, physical, and emotional strength.
Gain education and employment.
Improve temporal preparedness. General Handbook 22:1
Members strive to meet their basic needs through their own efforts, help from extended family, and help from government and community resources (see 22.12). If these sources are insufficient, members may need Church assistance. General Handbook 22.3.2 Persons who are not members of the Church are usually referred to local community resources for assistance. General Handbook 22.5.1.4
