According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), between 1 and 3% of the world’s population is affected by a disability. This makes persons with disabilities (PwD) the world’s largest minority. A number of scientific studies show that the risk for persons with intellectual disabilities suffering additionally from mental ill health is 3-5 times higher (Dosen 1990; Maes et al. 2004). These people with what is known as a dual diagnosis (DD) frequently find their participation in family, working and social life heavily curtailed, face social exclusion and are affected by poverty more than average[1]. This can be traced back to problematic behaviour (such as aggression, inappropriate sexual conduct etc.) and recurring crises. The “systems of origin” (families, residencies, employers, etc) can be overwhelmed in these circumstances and as such is rarely in a position to offer the support that is needed. In the event of crises, psychiatric help is brought in which nevertheless does not appear to be a lasting solution due to shortcomings in diagnosing and treating people with mental disabilities. The result is a “revolving door effect” between psychiatric facilities and systems of origin. This issue contravenes the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (in particular Articles 25 and 26). The MOBI Project aims to improve opportunities for people with DD in the Meuse–Rhine Euregion (MRE) and to support their active participation over the long-term. Against the backdrop of the MRE’s 2020 Strategy (especially in the area of healthcare provision) the aim is to create an inclusive network which offers optimal support and medical care for people with DD. Through coordinated, interlinked and cross-border work, the objective is to develop technical standards to support people with DD so that across the whole EMR region a suitable provision of care can be accessed with comparable quality levels. [3] These overarching objectives should be based on the following project-specific targets: 1) Drawing up of cross-border conceptual, innovative work and exchanging expertise on the basis of a common advanced training programme. 2) Development of itinerant multidisciplinary specialist services on crisis intervention which work locally and are Euregionally networked. In order to work through these ambitious targets, the Euregionally located project partners shall pool their technical skills and develop them further through intensive cross-border exchanges. The involvement of country-specific experiences brings the opportunity to harness the best possible solutions for the people in the MRE. The project contributes towards finding practical answers through exchanging experiences that can then be implemented in the diverse locations of the MRE. The project is aimed at the following target groups: Persons with a dual diagnosis: this is understood as persons with a mental disability and any additional impairments in the field of mental health (Definition of CSS[4]). Family members and experts from various institutions. From a time point of view, the project takes place in 3 phases. In the first phase the lead partner will ask questions about the specific needs of the project partners in terms of exchanging expertise and further training as well as analysing the needs surrounding inclusive, accessible and local support and care for people with dual diagnoses. Contact was already established during the project proposal stage with psychiatric institutions and psychiatry associations from the German-speaking community, the Walloon Region and the German border area as well as with potential partners from Flanders and Dutch Limburg. Phase 2 consists of developing and implementing mobile intervention teams for persons with DDs to offer them inclusive and accessible care. Work will be carried out in tandem on setting up a network platform (Sharepoint) as well as a qualified range of further training. During Phase 3 an evaluation of all previous working steps will be carried out. This will serve as a basis for the ensuing sustainability plan.

Socioeconomic position of persons with disabilities and effectiveness of allocations for persons with disabilities, Leuven, 2012, p.18 (http://www.belspo.be/belspo/organisation/Publ/pub_ostc/agora/ragkk154samenv_fr.pdf). [3] This corresponds with the recommendations of the EU Programme Helios II, according to which people with mental disabilities should be able to access an appropriate range of mental health care.
