Human Rights
The adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on December the 13th, 2006 during the General Assembly of the United Nations leads to efforts to enforce social inclusion in practice, in such a way that people with disabilities are able to participate equally in social life. Currently, the UNCRPD has been ratified by 174 nations around the world. Ratification requires governments to design or adjust laws and regulations in accordance with the content of the UN Convention. Read more on how to join the e-Course

A platform of Mental Health Specialists has been established in Estonia at Tallinn University within the framework of a development project (ELU) in co-operation with CARe Europe.
The aim of the platform is to promote community-based mental health initiatives. The platform highlights innovative professionals and their projects, provides an easy tool for networking and exchanging ideas. The first version of the platform will be introduced in Russian language, targeting the post-soviet region and based on the results of our pilot an English version will be also introduced. This questionnaire's aim is to gather information to build an online platform to feature and connect innovative professionals and initiatives in the field of Mental Health.
We guarantee the anonymity and confidentiality of the answers you give us and that these answers will be used only for the purposes of this research.
The draft version of our platform is available (in Russian) at https://zinsmith.wixsite.com/mhntw This is a prototype, any feedback and idea are welcome. Thank you very much for your cooperation. Zsolt Bugarszki

Several CARe Europe members were present at the EU conference on deinstitutionalisation which took place in Tallinn, 11-12 October, under the Estonian presidency of the EU Council. Among them: Aster Tooma, Kylli Mae, Zsolt Bugarszki and Jean Pierre Wilken, who had presentations in different sessions. Kylli Mae showed the great example how mobile rehabilitation teams, consisting of social workers and peer workers, play an important role in supporting people moving towards and living in the community in Estonia. Jean Pierre described the developments in the Netherlands where multidisciplinary community support teams have been formed in nearly every town and village. Zsolt explained how we can move beyond traditional welfare services, by creating social enterprises and using ICT platforms to organize mutual support in the community.
