EMBRACE MENTAL HEALTH CENTER (EMHC)

As a response to the devastating Beirut explosion that occurred on August 4, 2020, and in line with Embrace’s mission to make mental health care accessible, the Embrace Mental Health Center (EMHC) provides direct, affordable, and quality mental health care to persons experiencing a mental illness in Lebanon. The mental health clinic at EMHC uses a person-centered, community-based, multidisciplinary model, to provide evidence-based mental health services for its beneficiaries.

It employs a multi-disciplinary team of mental health specialists who tend to the psychological, medical, and social aspects of the beneficiaries concerned, and therefore understand, assess and treat the beneficiaries holistically within their context, using approaches that have shown scientific evidence of efficacy.
