About INWF
Irene Ngopi Wellness Foundation (INWF) is a non-profit corporation operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes.

It is the mission, duty and purpose of INWF to address, educate, coordinate, and provide aid and relief to promote mental wellness. It is our duty to be available when we are capable to provide a fully integrated human rights perspective into mental wellness and community services to eliminate stigma, discrimination, poverty and access to services while promoting inclusion and participation.
At INWF, mental wellness is our top priority because it is an integral part of personal balance that affects other areas of life, such as physical wellness, emotional wellness, financial wellness and spiritual wellness.Wellness encompasses both our bodies, and our minds. Sadly, we continue to witness the effects of associated stigma in our communities. By not taking action to break the stigma and promote wellness, we deny ourselves the opportunity to be our best, healthiest selves. Once we become aware of our mental wellness, it is then that we can take care of it. Fortunately, at INWF, mental wellness is given top priority not only to individuals who suffer from a wide range of mental health challenges, but also to their families and loved ones.
