The discipline of psychology has contributed to our understanding of immigrants and their conditions in the process of immigration.  PCC gives particular attention to the mental and behavioural health needs of immigrants across the lifespan and the effects of acculturation, discrimination, and immigration policy on individuals, families and society.

The centre is concern to raise awareness and campaign about this growing population
and derive evidence-informed recommendations for the provision of mental health services. It is also available to give counselling and psychological assistance, as well as therapeutic aid to both young and adults immigrants.
