The Gaza Mental Health Program is a non-governmental, non-profit Palestinian organization established in April 1990 with the aim of providing comprehensive mental health services to the entire population in the Gaza Strip, including treatment and counseling services, training and the publication of research.
The idea of establishing the program came to fill the void and fill the great needs resulting from the negligence of the occupation to provide basic services to the population, including mental health services, knowing that Palestine needs such services as a result of the Palestinian society’s exposure to constant tension and shocks resulting from the various practices of the occupation and the stages of social change that the society is going through.
