When I help someone, I am the helper, and he is the helpee. But surely there is a better word than this?

I guess you could say «recipient of help» or «beneficiary», but I don’t really like either of these.

Edit: Thanks for all the great answers… I think everyone has added something useful — felt I should mark someone as correct, even though I feel I still haven’t found the perfect word.

The entity offering assistance is the server (or the servant).

The entity receiving assistance is the client.

Governments assist client states, computer servers assist client computers, professionals assist clients. Even librarians have started switching their terminology from patrons to clients.

I agree with Martin Krzywinski’s comment above to the effect that a person who benefits from your help can very reasonably and accurately be called the beneficiary. Merriam-Webster’s Eleventh Collegiate Dictionary (2003) has this entry for the word:

beneficiary n (1662) 1 : one that benefits from something 2 a : the person designated to receive the income of a trust estate b : the person named (as in an insurance policy) to receive proceeds or benefits.

I’m not sure what negative connotations you associate with these definitions. I suppose you could argue that definitions 2(a) and 2(b) presuppose that someone must die or something bad must happen before the benefits begin to flow to the named beneficiary; that view isn’t entirely true, but undoubtedly the connection exists in some instances. However, nothing of the sort applies to situation described in definition 1. For example, a person can be the beneficiary of someone’s kindness without there being any need for anyone to suffer a loss.

The only other possible negative connotation of beneficiary I can think of is that it may seem too presumptuous a word for the helper to use. After all, «help» isn’t always that helpful, and some attempts to help fail utterly. But when I receive real help from someone, I have no uneasiness about calling myself the beneficiary of that person’s aid. And the relationship of helper to helped already implies the idea of a giver and a receiver of benefits, whether you use the word beneficiary or not.

Not «the helped». There is almost no circumstance where that would be good English.
Instead use «the one helped», «the helped one/person/etc».

Recipient and Beneficiary are totally different — they both mean receivers of something.
In the case of Beneficiary, it is usually something good.
Recipient is neutral — one can be the recipient of a gold ingot, or the recipient of 50 lashes. Neither item is, strictly speaking, «helpful».

Mental Health Case Managers are professional helpers. Referring to his/her clients as cases does not do the relationship justice. Manager implies staff; would it make sense to call the helpee, staff? There is a sense that the relationship is therapeutic. Therapeutic implies the helpee get the benefit of doubt (unless you have reason not to) and that the relationship is for the best interest of the client. Treating the client as making sense, is significant, acceptable, and has resources and strengths is essential.

Indeed some terminology can be challenging at times. In the academic setting, it is very clear what we mean when we say mentor and mentee. But in my training of paracounselors, I am not comfortable using counselee because doing so connotes formal training on the part of the paracounselor (which is not the case). My last resort is still helpee.

synonym study for help

1. Help, aid, assist, succor agree in the idea of furnishing another with something needed, especially when the need comes at a particular time. Help implies furnishing anything that furthers one’s efforts or relieves one’s wants or necessities. Aid and assist, somewhat more formal, imply especially a furthering or seconding of another’s efforts. Aid implies a more active helping; assist implies less need and less help. To succor, still more formal and literary, is to give timely help and relief in difficulty or distress: Succor him in his hour of need.

21. Cannot/can’t help but has been condemned by some as the ungrammatical version of cannot/can’t help followed by the present participle: You can’t help but admire her. You can’t help admiring her. However, the idiom Cannot/can’t help but is so common in all types of speech and writing that it must be characterized as standard.
