Victor Hugo Shaw-Young

In the heart of London, Victor Hugo Shaw-Young founded the London Mental Wellness Coalition (LMWC) in March 2024. This dynamic and collaborative network brings together mental health professionals from various disciplines to advocate for social justice within the community.

Victor, a passionate advocate for mental wellness, recognized that many individuals and families in London were struggling with issues of inequality, facing systemic barriers to healthcare, and dealing with the effects of social injustices. Inspired by this awareness, he dedicated himself to addressing the mental health needs of those most affected, ensuring their voices are heard and their stories shared.

The LMWC focuses on supporting not only these individuals but also the wider community during times of public health crises or local emergencies. Victor believes strongly in the power of listening—to understand the unique challenges faced by community members, respect their experiences, and work tirelessly to meet their needs. By doing so, he aims to foster an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Committed to making a real difference, Victor leads initiatives aimed at educating the public about mental health, combating stigma and discrimination, and enhancing community resilience. The coalition works hard to increase access to high-quality, culturally sensitive mental health services, ensuring they are available to all who need them. Through his efforts, Victor Hugo Shaw-Young is transforming the conversation around mental health in London, one voice at a time.
