Health is a basic right
As experts in transcultural psychiatry, we provide psychological care and support to young refugees and migrant children and their families. This target group battles with a range of complex psycho-traumatic issues, having gone through an often hellish journey fleeing war in their home countries. Solentra stands for Solidarity and Trauma.
Solidarity because we consider health in the broadest of senses. Psychological suffering and the recovery from psychological suffering are most definitely present in the individual if they have a history of migration. This requires a strong and wide safety net. A sense of solidarity is the very basis of well-being.
Our area of expertise lies in the trauma brought on by experiences of war and migration. We are a high-quality and culturally sensitive centre for diagnosis and treatment. Part of our work consists of ongoing research and optimisation as well as the use of state-of-the-art treatment methods. This is how we came to develop our own PACCT® method, which renders psychological support considerably more accessible and efficient for our target group, with a guarantee of excellent quality.

Solentra vzw/ASBL - À propos
Solentra is an aggregation of Solidarity and Trauma, but also stands for hope and new dreams.
Solentra is a non-profit organisation and part of PAika, the psychiatric unit of UZ Brussel (Brussels university hospital) for children and young people up to 18 years old.
We diagnose and treat migrant children and young adults who have fled their own country due to war. In case they fled with their families, we treat them as well. This often leads to complex psycho-traumatic issues and these war-related traumas are our area of expertise.
Our overall mission? To make mental health care more accessible and more efficient. Always and everywhere. We also function as a social enterprise. We consider health in the broad sense of the word, for psychological suffering and mental disorders are not just an attribute of the individual alone. They are also the sum of environmental and social factors.
