 
MDRI's European Programs bring attention to human rights violations against people with mental disabilities in Central and Eastern Europe, support the development of mental disability rights advocacy in the region, and engage in policy advocacy
on a regional level that includes the rights of people with mental disabilities.
Through the European Program, MDRI collaborates with local organizations to:
- expose abuses against people with mental disabilities;
- make recommendations for mental health reform;
- help craft mental health legislation;
- help train and support new organizations run by people with mental
disabilities and their families;
- work with established, mainstream human rights organizations to promote
the inclusion of mental disability rights into their core advocacy agendas;
