    Yes. It is one of those separable phrasal verbs that must be separated by a direct object.

    This means that you and a group of friends help out someone.

    Is that incorrect?

    Only if the direct object is a personal pronoun. You can help out someone or help someone out; you can help me out, but you can't help out me.
