Counselling Programme

Counselling Programme

The aim of the Counselling Programme is to provide refugees with essential information and needs-based assistance, as well as to support refugees in their adaptation and independence. We base our support on the personal needs of those requiring assistance to help them make informed decisions about rebuilding their lives in a new country, which in turn contributes to the cohesion of a healthy society.

Estonian Refugee Council has been offering counselling and support services to recipients of international protection since 2012.

The programme’s purpose is to support the self-sufficiency of refugees in Estonia. As part of the counselling programme, we offer refugees high-quality, relevant and up-to-date information based on their personal needs to help them make informed decisions about rebuilding their lives in a new country.

Due to the increased number of refugees in 2022 in Estonia, we opened a call centre and counselling centre in Tallinn. We regularly held workshops and training all over Estonia, e.g. digital skills and labour market related counselling sessions, adaptation training and need- based individual support person service.

Estonian Refugee Council’s counselling programme:

  • Offers high-quality and verified information about rights, obligations and opportunities in Estonia.
  • Offers comprehensive counselling and, if necessary, refers people to other services. 
  • Supports independence and adaptation to the new society.
  • Helps make the entire Estonian society more cohesive through various services.

Counselling services are provided based on people's needs and respecting them as experts in their own lives.
