The Gaza Community Mental Health
Programme (GCMHP) is a Palestinian non-governmental, non-profit
organization established in 1990 to provide comprehensive community mental
health services - therapy, training and research - to the population of
the Gaza Strip.
Since that time, the Gaza Strip - one of the most densely populated areas
in the world, with two thirds of the population being refugees and 50%
being younger than 16 years - has witnessed extreme forms of violence and
suffering, due to Israeli occupation and military operations. This made
the extent of mental health problems in the Gaza reach unprecedented
levels.
Today, after 15 years, GCMHP remains the leading organization in Palestine in providing psycho-social programs, adopting a comprehensive, community based approach for working with children, women, and victims of human rights violations.
