What is youth potential?
Youth Potential is one man mental health project that was created, and is run by, Scott Shrubsole. Yep, that photo to your left is me, Scott.
My aim is to motivate, inspire and encourage young people (young in body or at heart!) that are struggling with mental illness. Currently I'm fulfilling this through my YouTube channel, Instagram account and a couple of books that I've written and self-published. Click here to learn more about my work.
I, Scott, live with Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety and I'm currently awaiting a test for Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have also been battling self-harm and stress on and off since I was 15. I really want to help people with the same and similar conditions through the content that I create. I believe that everyone living with mental illness needs extra help as there just isn't enough of it out there for the millions of people who are struggling.
As well as continuing with my social media work and writing books I'd really like to be a motivational speaker on mental health. It may take a life time but I want to use the proceeds to create a "Self-harm Center" that people can go to meet like-minded individuals, get involved in creative and distractive activities, speak with professional therapists and just generally be themselves.
