Adam Shaw

Adam Shaw is a world wide mental health advocate, philanthropist, author, owner of a large mental health publishing company and co-founder of the successful global charity, The Shaw Mind Foundation. Adam lives in the UK and is married with 5 children.

Now in recovery from a life time of severe mental health issues himself, he is committed to helping others suffering from debilitating mental health issues through the charity, www.shawmindfoundation.org.

The Shaw Mind Foundation is a dynamic charity, passionate about tackling the stigma that can accompany mental health issues. The charity's overarching goal is to support anyone who may have lost hope; both the sufferer and those who support them. The foundation's priority is to ensure treatment and support is made available to everyone across the globe. Working in the UK, USA and in other countries worldwide, the charity's awareness raising programme challenges many of the myths and assumptions about mental health issues. The founders believe recovery is possible for many who are currently not getting the help they need.

This is where The Shaw Mind Foundation makes a difference. The charity doesn't want people to continue to slip through the net because they have to wait for care, don’t have funds to access life-saving treatment or live in an area or country that can’t currently access mental health recovery programmes. Mental health doesn’t discriminate; neither should geography or financial status.
