Person-centred planning: Conversation with Milena Johnová about inclusion (and segregation) in Czechia
<p><strong>The first Czech book on person-centred planning, and the work that inspired it.</strong></p><p>Milena Johnová has just published the first Czech-language book on person-centred planning. In this episode, she talksabout why she wrote it, what she learned in the process, and the stories behind the work — including a woman who left an institution and now lives independently with no formal support at all, and the closure of Svojšice, an institution near Prague where over 100 people moved into lives of their own choosing.</p><p>The conversation also turns to a harder truth: Prague, one of the wealthiest regions in Europe, still sends people with disabilities to institutions hours away from their families. Johnová explains what's really driving the slow pace of deinstitutionalisation in the Czechia, and why she believes the answer starts with simply listening to people.</p><p>In this episode:</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Welcome to Prague</p><p>00:43 Why Write the Book</p><p>02:54 Roots of Segregation</p><p>04:55 Alliances for Inclusion</p><p>06:45 Services vs Community</p><p>08:38 Barbora’s Journey Home</p><p>12:28 Closing Svojšice Institution</p><p>16:54 Real Choice in Practice</p><p>18:00 Prague Removing Disabled People to Institutions</p><p>23:06 Horní Poustevna Legacy</p><p>25:04 Building New Institutions</p><p>26:37 Changing Minds and Systems</p><p>29:37 Podcast Picks and Farewell</p>

From practice to policy: How Czechia's reform shaped European deinstitutionalisation - Conversation with Jan Pfeiffer
<p>In this episode, we talk to psychiatrist Jan Pfeiffer about mental health reform in Czechia and how this helped create a broader European deinstitutionalisation movement. </p><p>As a psychiatrist Jan realised early on in his work that institutions were more harmful than helpful to the people who lived there. So, he decided to make a change. Since the 1980s he has been working to close institutions on both national and European level. </p><p>When the case of a young boy who had been forced to live in a caged bed in a Czech institution became public and gained international attention J.K. Rowling got involved. As more and more countries joined the EU, Jan and J.K. Rowling decided to take the issue of institutionalisation to Brussels. </p><p>Jan ended up working on this in many different countries. Key lessons include the importance of collaboration, using resources better, and keeping a clear focus on people’s needs and rights.</p><p>For this, Jan helped create the European Expert Group on the transition from institutions to community-based support (EEG).</p><p>Finally, Jan speaks about the impact of the mental health reform for people with intellectual disabilities, especially those with complex support needs. </p><p><br></p><p>This episode is co-funded by the European Union. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode: </p><p>00:00 Introduction</p><p>03:32 Working with J.K.
