Eligibility and referral Information.
- We only accept referrals for refugees or asylum seekers.
- We welcome referrals from health professionals, support organisations and concerned family and friends.
- It is important that, prior to making a referral, all referrers discuss the potential of working with Solace with the person concerned. For many people the idea of getting help with their psychological distress is a new concept. The downloadable leaflet here might help to explain what we can help with.
