"Persons with psychosocial disabilities in the time of COVID - A closer look at individuals and their support systems" TCI, along with Bapu Trust and the International Disability Alliance, supported 6 national level "Microgrants" on the inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities. Date and time: 22nd July, 10.30 AM IST The Micro Grants (supported between July 2020 and March 2021) aimed to focus on national advocacy, community support systems and the inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities. Specifically, TCI focused its support on projects that: Strengthen the movement of persons with psychosocial disabilities, by building the capacity of national emerging leaders and/or DPOs in advocating for the inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities in COVID-19 response; Ensure that the COVID-19 relief plans include measures that incorporate advocacy with multiple stakeholders, the use of the Bali Declaration, dissemination of IEC and advocacy materials, and translations of advocacy materials including UN reports; and Strengthen the organizational capacity of DPOs and their governance, peer support activities including trainings on peer support, and other work that specifically include the participation of persons with psychosocial disabilities.
