That is why extraordinary individuals like @patrickfoster02 that share their story of vulnerability and overcoming adversities (such as a pathological gambling addiction and mental health struggles) to these young men has NEVER been more important.

Half way through at the moment, can't put it down. It's like reading my own autobiography at regular intervals, only on a larger scale.
I relinquished control of my bank accounts amongst other things thanks to the unwavering support of my now fiance.
Admire your bravery.

Important and brave session by @patrickfoster02 at @EducationFest this morning.
Think many young men can get caught in the spiral of addiction and the shame/embarrassment of telling family and friends. Hopefully takes the stigma away and to tackle issues earlier on.

Great listen, listened to it all in one day on audio
Book. In the midst of a battle myself at the moment, it really does give you hope of coming out the other side.

There are days when #TeamMintridge think “this is why we do what we do” and we had exactly that today as part of our #28NotOut #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Roadshow.

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek & we feel privileged to hear from @patrickfoster02 & his strength to overcome his #gamblingaddiction. This has been made possible due to the #28NotOut Max Hunter Fund.
We hope that this will have a positive impact on the group here @SteelbacksITC.

No it’s not a casino, it’s a London Underground train carriage. I took this photo. A child in school uniform was sitting below this gambling advert. @TfL @SadiqKhan when is this going to stop? @GRHAPPG @pgreform @TheBMA @cagauk
