Aaron Davies, 22, had an erratic school career, eventually leaving school in sixth form due to his mental health. After a few years of unemployment, and through the Prince's Trust and M&S' Make Your Mark campaign, Aaron finally found a place where he felt appreciated and valued.
In this blog to mark Mental Health Awareness Week, Aaron talks about his experience of depression, the value of support networks, and the message he'd like to send to young people going through similar tough times.
