Meteor, how to access to a helper from another helper?

I have a helper like

Template.user_profile.helpers({
  user:function() {
     return Meteor.users.find({\'profile.front_name\':Session.get(\'slug\')}).fetch(

You can call a template helper (not global helper - which is in outluch's answer) with:

Template.tplName.__helpers.get('helper').call()

MDG suggests using a regular function and then passing it to helpers, events and so on. See here.

Actually I strongly advise to simply use manuel:viewmodel - it alleviates so many Blaze headaches...
