Coming to a new country as a refugee, asylum seeker or forced migrant can be incredibly hard. It can affect your day-to-day life in ways that are difficult to put into words — and some of the thoughts and feelings you carry can feel overwhelming. 

We are here for you. We offer free, confidential support in Croydon to young people aged 11–25 who are refugees, asylum seekers or forced migrants. We can help with a wide range of things, including trauma, loss, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, isolation and sleep problems. 

Interpreters are available on request.

Anyone is welcome to contact us — whether you're a young person looking for support, or a carer or professional wanting to make a referral. 

You can reach our Refugee Service by phone on 020 7154 1040 or by email at youngrefugees@talkofftherecord.org 

If you're a young person, get in touch and we'll talk you through what support is available. We'll ask you for a little information about yourself and let you know when you can meet a counsellor. 

If you're a carer or professional, click here for guidance and the referral form.
