助ける can be used for help in a broad sense, the difference from 救助する/救う is 助ける can mean to assist.

救う/救助する both mean to save, the latter sounds like the situation being more serious (e.g. fire, disaster).

救う can mean consoled/consoling/feel less sad (mostly) in the passive form 救われる. 救助する does not have this usage.
