| Vision To develop a trans-cultural model of the “right to health” approach and commitment to social justice and change in Palestine and the region, by examining health in the context of people’s life –moving beyond the individualistic approach to include extended family, social, cultural, political, religious and economic conditions. The model is based on analyzing the links between health and human rights focusing on the community approach and development. Such a model will be developed through capacity building, contextual research studies, professional advancement, professional credentialing, and the ability to act as an ethical change agents in a constantly changing environment by empowering family and community initiatives in alliance with existing community resources. Mission Jesoor would be distinguished for its leading position in the region as an organization of excellence in capacity building, professional practice, contextual research, and of its critical analysis of the linkage between mental health and human rights. Jesoor will be proactive and innovative in efforts to alleviate inequalities in health, making family empowerment more accessible and culturally acceptable while providing each individual with dignified service. We will gain distinction for our critical analysis of the contextual linkage between health and human rights, and contribute creatively to the local, regional and global right to health approach movement and prevention of torture. We will achieve this by basing health practice and research on the philosophy of right to health approaches and the holistic framework of people’s rights where our focus is not only on the mind, body and spirit, but also on the context were individuals live. |
