Training, Supervision and Consultancy

Supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the UK can be a challenge in whatever capacity you are working in, whether as a volunteer, solicitor or counsellor.  The difficult circumstances that many have escaped from along with multiple losses and adjusting to a new culture with its complex infrastructure can be overwhelming. Solace is able to offer a range of training, supervision and consultancy services, which can be tailored to the needs of organization. You can choose from one of the Solace training modules or we can offer a bespoke training package ranging from several hours to several days.
