[Mental Health Europe @MentalHealthEur]

Our #OpenLetter calling for a paradigm shift in #mentalhealth care has reached 200+ signatories! We need a shift away from isolating services which are coercive and inappropriately medicalised to ones that are #recovery & community-based https://t.co/FhpcxWnagI

M. Paraskevas: "the aim of @EU_Social is to make sure that deinstitutionalisation will be addressed in all Member States, not only the current 12." All children in the EU have a right to family life. #EUDisability

European Social Fund #ESF will b instrumental to implement the European Pillar of #SocialRights @EU_Social @EESC_SOC in next #EU #funding period. This is why it's a pity that #disability is not included in the Social Scoreboard - how will progress be monitored? @MyEDF @COFACE_EU

[European Union of the Deaf @EUD_Brussels]

Mark Wheatley ‘DPOs must be involved in planning & monitoring the implementation of #EU #funds. Lack of accessible information is a barrier for using #EU #funds which must be removed!’ @EESC_SOC @MyEDF #EUDisability

[Magdi Birtha @MagdiBirtha]

Fully agree that organisation of ppl w/ #disabilities should be involved in planning, implementing & monitoring #EU #funds . I also think re #deinstitutionalisation persons living in institutions should be involved - their voice barely heard @EESC_SOC @MyEDF @COFACE_EU @EU_Social

[Catherine Naughton @catherinenaugh]

@ipapancheva @lumos presents @CleSfw key findings: #ESIF is funding shift to community based living, calls for proposals at national level, domestic versus EU agenda, tendency to small institutions, focus on numbers not quality @EESC_SOC

[European Union of the Deaf @EUD_Brussels]

We are @EU_EESC to review the 2014-2020 #ESIF Regulations and examine what needs to be done for them to be compatible with the #UNCRPD, the interests of persons with disabilities and DPOs @EESC_SOC

[Inclusion Europe @InclusionEurope]

"Separating #children with special needs or children with #disabilities from the community is both legally & morally wrong. Society needs all its children to grow up within its communities. Children need communities to grow, develop, and flourish." https://t.co/lYnTibNbeD #UNCRPD
