The Advocacy and Lobbying Department was established in 2005 to work on issues related to the environment surrounding the Palestinian individual and his/her mental well-being.  This department works in close coordination with organizations and institutions to ensure a joint vision and work to enable mental health institutions to work towards policy change to benefit the community as a whole.  This department was established to complement the role of the other PCC departments and programs that work to build a balance between the individual and his/her environment and lead to mental well-being.  

The department works on the following objectives:

1. Developing and improving mental health related policies and procedures.
2. Contribute to the development of a national mental health plan.
3. Exposing Israeli policies and violations as they are the main cause of the deteriorating mental health situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

This department works with the local and international community, mainly those concerned with the well-being of their communities and their society.
