In Jordan, HI provides rehabilitation services to people with disabilities or injured during the Syrian conflict and who have fled to Jordan, including particularly vulnerable people. The organization also implements projects to promote better recognition of the rights of people with disabilities in Jordan. HI has set up several permanent and mobile "disability and vulnerability" centres to ensure that the most vulnerable people receive the help they need: rehabilitation care, prostheses, mobility aids (crutches, wheelchairs, etc.), psychosocial support and assistance in accessing other forms of humanitarian aid.
Services Offered
HI works to prevent and treat psychological distress and mental disorders in humanitarian and development crises. It aims to improve mutual support within communities to foster social cohesion to protect people's mental health. Interventions take place with individuals, families, groups or communities and take the form of psychological and social consultations, the facilitation of discussion groups or therapeutic mediation groups, sociocultural and artistic activities... These activities are often integrated into our other activities, such as physical and functional rehabilitation or protection against violence. We also offer training, supervision and practice analysis to all stakeholders in the sector.

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.
