<p><span style="color:#20124D">TCI Asia Pacific, an independent and regional Disabled People’s Organization focusing on the monitoring and implementation of all human rights for persons with mental health problems and psychosocial disabilities and guided by
the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) are running a campaign dubbed #WhatWeNeed.
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#20124D"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#20124D">The campaign aims to raise awareness of the needs of persons with psychosocial disabilities, persons with lived experience, users and survivors of psychiatry, those with an identity of ‘mad’, voices from the cross disability movement
and all key stakeholders who have faith in the paradigm shift on signifying transitions that mental health systems worldwide need to make. Check:

<p><span style="color:#20124D"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#20124D">Therefore, as part of the #WhatWENeed campaign, TCI Asia Pacific have recently published a series of writings on the imperative to reframe the debate towards full and effective participation and inclusion of persons with psychosocial
disabilities based on excerpts from their Galway-Trieste conversations. </span></p>
