The Middle East Psychological Association (MEPA) was founded in 2010 to unify psychologists and mental health practitioners across the Gulf region. Dr. Joanne Hands has been leading MEPA since 2014 and focuses on advancing psychotherapy standards through ethical, evidence-based practices while increasing public awareness. MEPA also provides unique resources, including consumer training and ongoing education for mental health professionals. The organization recently held its eighth annual conference in Kuwait, featuring keynote speeches from notable American psychologists and covering relevant topics in the field.
I believed, and continue to believe, that elevating both professional competency and public awareness is essential for fostering a mentally healthier society.
MEPA offers training for consumers of mental health services and social service professionals, making it a unique resource in destigmatizing psychology in the region.
