According to the World Mental Health Report (WHO), governments worldwide allocate just two per cent of their health budgets to the treatment and prevention of mental health conditions. Recognising the gaps and limitations in improving the state of inner health for emerging adults, The Inner Foundation aims to build a better outer world by first focusing on building one’s inner foundation. With a vision to accelerate new ways of investing in the global mental health crisis, Annika Sten Pärson co-founded and partnered with The Inner Foundation, a worldwide mission- and impact-driven foundation investing in innovative solutions that unite public, private, and non-profit efforts to improve inner health.
