Counselling on reintegration
Rejected asylum seekers often have many thoughts, questions, and perhaps concerns about what is going to happen as a result of the refusal of asylum. DRC’s return and reintegration counsellors can talk to the rejected asylum seeker about his or her situation and about the emotional and practical considerations that may arise in the process after a refusal of asylum.
DRC counsellors can help check whether an applicant meets the criteria for receiving reintegration support and can assist an applicant in applying for reintegration support. In addition, counsellors can provide advice on, for example, local conditions in the specific home country and possible uses of reintegration support. DRC can put an applicant in virtual contact with the local reintegration partner before departure and assist in preparing the return and reintegration process for the individual applicant.
DRC's return and reintegration counsellors have, among other things, experience with:
- What happens after a refusal of asylum and what rules apply
- What practical, social and/or financial support is available in the home country
- What emotional and practical considerations rejected asylum seekers often address
Our counsellingis confidential. We do not provide any information to the Danish authorities about the individual's considerations, just as counselling with DRC does not necessarily mean that the rejected asylum seeker wants to leave, but simply that he or she seeks clarification about the situation he or she finds himself or herself in.
