Resala originated on June 25, 1999 as a student activity at the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University. The goal of the founding team was to spread volunteerism and positivity in the community and to cultivate belonging. In 2000, Resala became a charitable association registered with the Ministry of Social Affairs. With the passage of time, the activities of the Resala Association expanded and the number of its volunteers increased and its branches multiplied until it became one of the largest charitable societies in Egypt and the largest volunteer-based entity in the Arab world. Now, Resala has more than 60 branches spread all over Egypt, and more than 200 thousand volunteers volunteer every year, serving millions of Egyptians in about 30 volunteer activities.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:

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.
