For young people, and everyone who believes in them
An inner foundation, for a world worth living in together.
We begin with curiosity and hope for each young person, care for the whole of their world, and a simple belief that no one is beyond reach.
Why these years matter
Most of what shapes a lifetime takes root before 24.
50%
of lifelong mental health conditions have taken root by age 14.
75%
have taken root by age 24, the very heart of these years.
These are the years when reaching a young person can shape the whole future of their life. The world has shifted in seismic ways. A new paradigm is required. The moment to act is now.
How we begin
We get curious before we get conclusions.
“She is capable, but her system is overwhelmed.”
High ability, real effort, working hard in good treatment, and still struggling. It can be tempting to call a young person “treatment resistant.” Far more often, the picture was simply incomplete. The young person was never the problem. When we stay curious, the right help can follow.
What changes when we understand
When we understand more, young people need less.
Through a deeper, more curious understanding of root causes, and with young people who often carry more than most.
87%+
of young people with anxiety, depression or ADHD find real, measurable relief.
1.8×

What gives us confidence
A model already proven across thirty thousand young people.
Navera is not an experiment. It is an innovative, evidence based practice, proven and scaling in the United States, shaping outcomes one young person at a time across thousands of overlapping, complicated lives. What we are exploring in Sweden, and in Europe, is not whether this works. It is where it is needed next.

Sweden, and a model for Europe

Sweden is the right place to begin: one coherent national system, a deep public health tradition, and the standing to lead. What works here becomes the model the rest of Europe can follow.

1.5M
