Publisher's Synopsis
Born in early seventies. Mark went through school unaware that he had ADHD and dyslexia until he was forty. Told by a teacher he wouldn't amount to much, he became a British champion before leaving school at fifteen.
When the nighties came, he went down a road of drink and drugs until he met his future wife, Michelle. Now he was a successful sales person and earning more than the teachers who told him he would never get a job.
His biggest battle was anxiety and depression. After thoughts of suicide, he changed his career and ended up working in youth and mental health sectors, having experienced and witnessed horrific events. Today, Mark believes that with support, anyone can grow from trauma (known as post-traumatic growth).
Mark is now an international campaigner, keynote speaker. published author, trainer and consultant. Appearing on television and radio stations, raising awareness of mental health worldwide. He was awarded the British Citizen Award for Healthcare at Westminster in 2023.
