The Palestinian Counselling Centre (PCC) is a mental health non-governmental organization established in 1983. The PCC was started by a group of psychologists to respond to the increasing need for mental health services among the Palestinian population. The PCC started intervening at the primary intervention level concentrating its efforts in raising the community’s awareness to the importance of counselling as a form of effective therapy for various psychosocial problems. The PCC then moved to intervene at the secondary level by placing and supervising psychologists, counsellors and social workers in schools and primary health clinics.  Presently, the PCC is regarded as a provider of secondary mental health care where it provides psychotherapy in its clinics in Jerusalem, Nablus and Ramallah, rehabilitation for chronically mental health patients in Qalqilya, in addition to building the capacities of Mental Health Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) workers nationally and regionally and supervising the PSS work of several CBOs in different locations in the West Bank. The PCC has its headquarters in the old city of Jerusalem with branch centers/ clinics in Ramallah, Qalqilya, Nablus and Jenin. The PCC employs 49 staff members and serves over 18,000 direct beneficiaries annually
