The Arab Counseling Center for Education (ACCE) focuses on strengthening community-based organizations (CBOs) and professionals in the field of mental health by providing comprehensive support that enables them to identify local needs, establish impactful psychosocial services, and sustain their work. Through these efforts, ACCE aims to institutionalize high-quality mental health and psychosocial support programs, ensuring that individuals and families receive the care they need. In addition to working with CBOs, ACCE offers professional development opportunities for those already engaged in mental health service delivery, as well as for individuals and groups seeking foundational skills in psychosocial well-being.
