Empowering Residents, Shaping Services

At Solacia Insights, we place our residents at the heart of everything we do. This resident-led initiative is designed to provide individuals with a platform to share their stories, actively participate in service design, and develop valuable advocacy skills. By empowering residents to contribute to the development of the services they receive, we ensure that their needs, experiences, and aspirations shape Solacia’s future.
