Solentra Information

Solentra stands for Solidarity & Trauma. As an expert in transcultural psychiatry, we offer specialised psychological care to people with a refugee or migration background. Cultural, language and socio-economic barriers often prevent them from seeking psychiatric help and accessing their right to mental health. Therefore, Solentra has developed its own PACCT methodology, which stands for Psychiatry Assisting the Culturally Diverse Community in Creating Healing Ties. It combines community psychology with transcultural psychiatry and places the strength provided by a community at the centre. In addition, we share our expertise with professional support workers. Through our Academy, we offer various training options, community-based consultations and intervisions. We also have a free helpdesk available. Through these efforts, we help improve the quality of care and break the cycle of unnecessary treatments and referrals.
