Mental health is shaped not only by access to care, but by the conditions in which people live, connect, and participate. Because strong communities are the foundation of good mental health - and #StrongerTogether, we can build societies where everyone can thrive. #EuropeanMentalHealthWeek

Discrimination of those with lived experience of mental health fuels exclusion and worsens well-being 🫂 Tackling discrimination can and will improve mental health across Europe 🔗 www.mentalhealtheurope.org/europe-n…

🚨 Trump’s new exec order expands forced institutionalisation, criminalises homelessness, and rejects proven harm reduction and Housing First approaches This isn’t safety, it’s punishment The real danger is how such policies reinforce stigma, deepen marginalisation, and strip people of their rights

Trump is punishing Homelessness and Mental Distress

In July 2025, President Trump continued his assault on basic human rights.
This time, Trump targeted people affected by homelessness and mental distress by signing an executive order that:
Expands forced institutionalisation, Criminalises homelessness, and Rejects harm reduction and Housing First

Instead of addressing structural issues, Trump frames people experiencing poverty, homelessness, or mental health ISSUES as a danger
- not as human beings.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A CRIME
The real danger to society is the political choice to:
gut social programs,
punish rather than care,
and reinforce stigma
MENTAL HEALTH IS NOT A CRIME
