Solace Papers

At Solace, we have a commitment to share knowledge and expertise if it has the potential to improve the lives of people seeking safety.

Over the past 20 years, our therapists have developed a deep understanding of working with refugees and asylum seekers. As part of our commitment to sharing this expertise, members of our team have written a series of practical, reflective papers grounded in their frontline therapeutic experience.

They are insightful, practice-based resources designed for professionals who want to deepen their understanding and strengthen their work with this community. .
