Company History
In 2016, The Shaw Mind Foundation set up Trigger, a global trade publishing house devoted to opening conversations about mental health. We tell the stories of people who have suffered from mental illnesses and recovered, so that others may learn from them.
In our first book, Adam Shaw, founder of The Shaw Mind Foundation, spoke about his experience of living with OCD, anxiety, and panic attacks. For years, he avoided the things that would trigger his mental health issues. However, after meeting co-author and renowned psychologist Dr Lauren Callaghan, everything changed. Lauren encouraged Adam to not hide away from the things he feared but, rather, to face them. To pull the trigger on them.
And that’s why we’re called Trigger.
