@EUCommission One thing I miss consistently in anything related to mental health and also safe platforms is a diversity of voices that can represent and support a diversity of identities, especially layered ones.
This applies to (young) people who are neurodivergent, belong to ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+, different ability and whatever more.
It is incredibly difficult if not near impossible for those people to find someone who actually understands them, who actually respects that things work a little different for them. This is a problem everywhere but especially outside of the cities and especially in a number of countries.
No help can be just as harmful and destructive as the wrong help.
It feels important to note that those working within the EU also lack diversity. Please use whatever diversity you do have to help inform your proposals and actions. This world does not work the same for everyone.
@EUCommission I really want this to become a reality. The European train network, if functioning well, is one of the things we can and should take pride in (and use).
I never mind, and sometimes love, when fantasy and science fiction sets its own set of rules how medicine or science or whatever works but few things I loathe more than when the internal logic doesn't hold within the story. It just pulls me right out of it.
Set your own rules - sure. But then don't go breaking them (or come up with some ridiculously tortured explanation).

@EUCommission Silly assumption I don't follow Made in Europe already. 😀
Let's hope both Council and Parliament speed it up a little. Slightly surprised this has to go through the legislative process though.

Is there a proposed time line?

It happens far too often.
