Welcome to Middlepeace Clinical Counselling Society!
Counselling. Supervision. Education. Community.
MiddlePeace is a community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental health, strengthening relationships, supporting professional development, and building inclusive communities through accessible, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed services. We believe that individual well-being and community well-being are interconnected. Through counselling, clinical supervision, mentorship, support groups, and educational initiatives, we create opportunities for healing, learning, connection, and meaningful change.
Middlepeace website was founded by Poran Poregbal in early 2007, following her long-time passion for promoting mental health. For years this website was a forum for exploring the stigmatized discussions that needed further attention. This website was a place for publishing articles covering personal, interpersonal, and relational challenges in the Farsi speaking communities.
In 2020, this website became the home for Middlepeace Clinical Counselling Society which is operating to offer group based educational programs to everyone and mainly to the Farsi speaking communities.
