The Inspirational Speaker You Need
Suicide Prevention, PTSD, Veterans, First Responders & Law Enforcement. High School, College, Adult.
Let me introduce myself. I am Scott Aubin.
My Story Takes you from "My Mess to My Message"
I was born and raised in Upstate New York, near Plattsburgh, and am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. I served in the U.S. Air Force for 21 years and endured further traumatic experiences during my military service both stateside and in the Middle East. My story tells about the incredible effects PTSD has had on my life and the issues that go along with unrecognized PTSD, some of which include depression, rage, substance abuse, self-destruction and suicide attempts.
I currently speak with the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services T.R.A.U.M.A (Trauma Resources and Unified Management Assistance) program about PTSD awareness and suicide prevention for law enforcement, first responders and Veterans. I have presented at several colleges and academies which include Syracuse University, SUNY Plattsburgh, SUNY Canton, Alfred State, Buffalo State, Clinton Community College and the Nassau County Police Academy. I also speak extensively in High Schools and Middle Schools about the importance of speaking out, and that it's OK in this world to ask for help.
My story is yet raw and transparent, I tried to take my own life. I tell the truth, reliving my traumas with the audience. I have overcome so much and to take 'My Mess and make it my Message' is a testament to myself and my presentation.
At my side at all times is my second Great Dane Service Dog, Grey. He plays a very vital role in my life.
