The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in Jordan - Amman
UNFPA started its programmes of cooperation in Jordan in 1976. UNFPA supports five-year programme cycles which are developed between the Government of Jordan (represented by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation) and UNFPA. Each programme cycle is based on achievements and lessons learned in the preceeding cycles and the evolving national development priorities. UNFPA is currently supporting the Seventh Country Programme of Cooperation (2018-2022) which was developed within the overall framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Framework (UNSDF) and the Common Country Assessment (CCA). The process of developing the CCA and the UNSDF was jointly conducted by the Government and the UN system in Jordan.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
