Are you a person with psychosocial disability, are you interested in leading a change, advocating for rights, and promoting inclusion for persons with psychosocial disabilities?

TCI’s Fellowship Cycle 2025 is here to support emerging and existing national leaders to take action at the country level, build strong national movements, and push for the inclusion of persons with psychosocial disabilities guided by the CRPD.

The core objective of this program is to build and capacity cadres worldwide with national-level program engagements, and continued regional and global engagements. This will strengthen the TCI movement. The Fellowship will reframe the global ‘mental health’ momentum to a global ‘inclusion’ momentum, with CRPD guidance. It will build the strong capacity of national groups of persons with psychosocial disabilities to carry out advocacy and social innovation in line with the CRPD.

This year the TCI fellowship cycle will run from April 15th, 2025 till 15 December, 2025. The fellows will be paid a monthly stipend of USD 600 every month.
