• Admission Criteria
• • The Solace Centre is a referral service (no drop-in visits) for people with a mental health diagnosis in the Borough of Ealing. Referrals can be accepted by mental health practitioners, occupational therapists, social prescribers, and GPs via email after the completion of the referral form. Attendance at the Solace Centre may also be a part of your care plan. There are two types of referrals: a person on a section + not on a section. If a person being referred is currently on a section, we will require a risk assessment and the referrer to accompany the referred person on visits until agreed. We recommend and welcome a friend or professional to join new visitors to reduce any initial concerns. During an induction, we'll show the new visitor around The Solace Centre, discuss what the service offers, and go through the Code of Conduct. Afterwards, the new visitor is welcome to have a cup of tea/coffee or juice and meet our other members. Following induction, the new visitor is welcome to attend on an informal, ad hoc basis Monday – Friday, 3pm - 7pm. If you'd like to learn more about this service and induction, please email enquiries.solace@equinoxcare.org.uk or call between 3pm and 7pm at 0208 567 6189 as we are an out-of-hours service.
