There are many governments in Europe (and in other places too) making lives of people with intellectual disabilities and their families harder.
Cutting money for support.
Allowing worse quality of services.
Bringing back institutions.

We won't accept backsliding.

Impact of Brussels political impasse on people with disabilities has been simmering for some time.
Now we can see it more clearly.
It affects @soufianeelamrani.bsky.social among the many others.

And I’m afraid transport won’t be the only area.

“48.7% nursing home residents take antidepressants, compared with 34.7% of over-65s receiving home care and 12.4% of over-65s living at home without care,”

“The medication use varied between one in four patients at some homes and one in eight at others.”

www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/1675...

Half of nursing home residents are on antidepressants

A study revealed that the use of medication such as antidepressants is high among the elderly despite a lower prevalence of anxiety and depression.

The new #EUBudget proposal risks leaving social inclusion behind.

Read our reaction to the news of two programmes:
- National and Regional Partnership Plans
- AgoraEU

www.edf-feph.org/eu-budget-po...

We know too well that national governments often decide to underspend on social inclusion, including for persons with disabilities, when obligations are not in place.
