For policymakers
A partnership built with Sweden, for its young people.
The road we'd walk together, the way it grows, and how it meets your hope for the country.
Sweden, and a model for Europe
300,000 young people, within five years.
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.
10M
people in Sweden, one shared system to build within.
1.5M
adolescents and young adults, about 15% of the country.
300K
reached in five years, one in five of Sweden's young people.
Why these years, and why now
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.
The policy consequence is uncomfortable but simple: spending that arrives after 24 is arriving after most of the shaping is done. The years with the most leverage are the years most systems are least organised around.
What we are proposing
Prove it here first, then grow it deliberately.
We are not asking a health system to adopt an unproven method at scale. We are proposing to demonstrate it in one region, measure it against the outcomes Sweden already cares about, and expand only on the strength of what that shows.
First
a bounded regional partnership, with agreed measures and an honest read on what the model does and does not change here.
Then
expansion to neighbouring regions, carrying the method rather than diluting it, with clinicians trained into the way of working.
Then
a national footprint, and a European template that other countries can adapt rather than reinvent.
What it changes downstream
Fewer young people needing the most expensive kind of help.
The case for understanding first is clinical before it is financial — but the financial argument follows, because the costs that dominate youth mental health are crisis admissions, repeated restarts and years of care that did not fit.
87%+
of young people with anxiety, depression or ADHD find real, measurable relief.
85%
fewer crisis level hospital admissions, among the best outcomes payers measure.
30,000+
young people cared for through the founding US practice.
From Navera's founding US practice. Before and after assessments, 2025 to 2026, with 2,672 young people. US research, with Europe to follow.
What a partnership asks of both sides
This only works if it is genuinely mutual.
What we bring
A method proven at scale, the infrastructure to hold it steady as it grows, clinical training, and a commitment to measure honestly — including when the answer is unflattering.
What we need
Clinical partners who know the population, a clear view of the existing pathways we would sit inside, and agreement up front on the measures that will decide whether this continues.
What stays yours
The care relationship, the clinical governance and the decision about whether the model earns its place. We are asking to be evaluated, not adopted on faith.
