Mental Health Support for Refugees and Asylum Seekers

Online event marks milestone for Solace and resource relaunch

A special online event has been organised to mark the 20th anniversary of Solace, a charity focused on supporting refugees and asylum seekers. The event will also serve to relaunch free e-learning training and video resources aimed at addressing the mental health and wellbeing needs of these communities.

Solace has been working for two decades to provide support and raise awareness about the challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers, particularly in relation to their mental health and wellbeing. The organisation’s resources are designed to help professionals and others better understand and respond to these needs.
