Useful Resources
We have put together a small selection of useful resources to help you familiarize yourself with the situation facing refugees and migrants in France.
If things remain unclear after reviewing the materials, please try not to get upset or blame yourself; instead, consider booking a consultation or sending us an inquiry. These are genuinely complex and challenging topics.
Consultations and Support Groups
Twice a month, we host online support groups facilitated by a psychologist, where the group chooses the topic for each session.
At other times during the month, you can book a consultation with us covering our areas of expertise, specifically:
- Social integration
- Education and courses in French (FLE)
- Health
- Gender transition
- Sexual health issues
