After his idyllic childhood on the Bournemouth coast was shattered by sexual abuse and drug dependence, Paul saw no other way to escape the pressures of life and threw himself out of a third storey window when he was 17 years old. Having survived the ordeal and endured more years of anguish, a doctor in the hospital inspired him to play an active role in his own recovery. Now working in the field of mental health, he spends his days determined to help others in order to give back to the community. Paul Scates is from Dorset, UK and is now a Mental Health advocate, presenter, campaigner for Mind Charity, Motivational Coach, Wellbeing Ambassador and Inspirational Speaker. He has already appeared on BBC Three and The Guardian to share his story.
