| Our Vision |
| |
| A
Palestinian society that respects human rights and where
people live in dignity, free of oppression and feel that
their well-being is promoted. |
| |
 |
|
| Our Mission |
| |
|
One of
GCMHP's priorities is to train as many professionals in
psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and nursing as
possible to form a capable group to provide mental
health services for Palestinian society. Currently, and
for the first time in Palestine and the region, a
two-year Post-Graduate Diploma in Community Mental
Health is now being offered in coordination with the
Islamic University of Gaza and with the participation of
seven international universities. |
|
| |
|
The
Diploma project aims to educate groups of mental health
professionals and give them practical training opportunities in
order for them to become qualified community mental health
professionals. The Program views this Diploma project as the
first step towards establishing an Arab Institute for Community
Mental Health Sciences that will be the first of its kind in the
Arab Middle East, and will be a center of education, research,
and exchange. |
