Information and Referral (I&R) services are essential resources that provide individuals and communities with access to information, assistance, and connections to various services, programs, and resources that can address their specific needs or concerns. These services play a vital role in helping people access essential support and navigate complex systems efficiently.
Our information and referral services are aimed at parents who are looking for legitimate sources of information regarding their children and require referrals for specific needs, such as a school that suits your child’s needs, age appropriate toys or even doctors. Parents are often confused and worried about their child’s development, and at Solace, we strive to help you understand, whether you have a simple doubt or strong concern about your child’s development, parenting styles or any other queries.
