A note from ShawMind's founder:
Over the last 8 years, my very generous partners, our trustees and our very hard working team of employees have sacrificed and dedicated their time and resource overwhelmingly for our sole purpose and passion of ensuring we created action and impact for the next generation and to be a public voice and provide hope for those suffering in silence. Our belief is that humanity will always be greater than status. The last 8 years has been an enlightening journey, we sincerely hope over this period we have enabled children, teenagers, families and their loved ones the tools to help change their life and their mental health. It has been an incredible blessing and privilege to serve the mental health community over the last 8 years in the public domain, for which we are truly grateful for and indeed humbled.
It was an almost impossible decision to make, but we now feel the time is right to also shape a new future for our own lives and indeed that of our families and for that reason it is with a heavy heart that we have now made the decision to move away and retire from the public eye with our Mental Health advocacy through our own public charity projects. Our advocacy for Mental Health Wellbeing and Prosperity will always be unwavering, but the time now feels right to move forward and pursue our passion in a more private setting and to support other valuable public facing mental health initiatives.
Thank you to all, remember there is always, always, always hope. Life is truly worth living and there is always someone who cares and indeed shares the same lived experience as you, please never ever forget this. We will be withdrawing from moderating this community and wish each and every one of you a happy, healthy and successful life!
