TCI launched its annual advocacy campaign, #WhatWENeed 2023 on October 6. TCI has been running this campaign since 2018 to challenge and correct the medical oppression against us, persons with psychosocial disabilities, and reclaim World Mental Health day and month by filling it with our voices!

As part of the campaign, we conduct spotlight interviews with our members and networks to highlight the works they are engaged with and put a ‘spotlight’ on their advocacy.
