In Chad, lack of information in talking about history or background of counselling. However, an article which done by Bou Khalil (2017) represented that in the harsh and dark circumstances of life in Chad, awareness of how modern societies define and manage mental disorders seems to be among the least important subjects for the Chadian people. However, some glimmers of light have appeared. In 1990, the Jesuits founded an integrated health program in Goundi, a small city in the south of the country, that contains a hospital and eight primary health care centers situated within a 30-km radius, with the aim of providing treatment for the largest number of persons in need of it, at the lowest cost.
There is no available information on current regulatory status or level of recognition of Chad.
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) might provide health projects and sometimes even temporary hospitals, which are not always aligned and sustainable with the government’s strategic plans and resources.
This issue is of particular importance in a country like Chad as there is a lack of health systems research, particularly with regard to health workforce’s experiences and satisfaction.
For a deeper exploration of the counselling profession in the country, interested readers are recommended to read the following journal articles:
