Understanding Refugee and Asylum Seeker Mental Health and Wellbeing

A warm welcome! This online course is designed for learners with little or no knowledge of the UK’s asylum process and the issues that people seeking asylum in the UK face.

By completing the 6 modules, you will build your awareness and understanding to help you consider ways that you as an individual, in any role, can support those who have fled to safety in the UK – and in turn how you can influence those in your organisation to do the same.

With this shared learning it is our intention that together we can create a national network of informed individuals and services to offer the most compassionate and impactful wellbeing support for those who are seeking asylum in the UK.

This course is written and presented by Solace surviving exile and persecution (referred to as ‘Solace’ throughout). We are a specialist wellbeing service for asylum seekers and refugees covering Yorkshire and the Humber regions. Established in 2006 we have supported many thousands of individuals and families.
