Refugees with insecure residence permit status can use our counselling and advice service to receive information and support with any questions around asylum law, right of residence and social legislation.
At any point during the asylum procedure, you can access information about your rights and support in dealing with government agencies. If you haven’t applied for asylum yet or are considering an apprenticeship or a university degree instead, we can provide advice.

Psycho-social counselling
Don't you feel well mentally?
Do you suffer from anxiety with regard to your situation? Do you have problems in the relationship with your partner? Without an appointment, we offer you our counselling services, every Wednesday from 2 to 4 pm. Or you make a separate appointment with us.
Counselling and trainings on LGBTI refugees
We offer counselling and trainings for volunteers and professionals who work with refugees.
The trainings aim at educating on the topics related to LGBTI refugees and at sensitizing for their special needs.
