Suicide: The Ripple Effect – A Speaking Event

Posted on by

DESCRIPTION

Kevin Hines, mental health advocate, award-winning global speaker and documentary filmmaker will share his story of survival and tremendous will to live. Kevin is one of a very few people to survive a jump from the Golden Gate Bridge. At the age of 19, two years after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, his anguish was so intense that he thought jumping from the bridge was his only option. He instantly regretted his action. Kevin’s story is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder for us to love the life we have.

Kevin, an inspiring and motivation speaker, has dedicated his life to saving lives by spreading the message of hope, recovery and mental wellness. Through his work he promotes the tremendous ripple effects of advocacy, inspiration, and hope that are helping millions heal and stay alive.

Centerstone and Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation have partnered to enable Kevin to share his story of survival and advocacy with students, parents, community leaders, emergency service personnel and area residents.

Kevin’s documentary Suicide: The Ripple Effect will be screened on Tuesday, October 9th at Yes Cinema. Due to limited seating we recommend registering on the documentary film Eventbrite page. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/suicide-the-ripple-effect-documentary-film-tickets-49230497744
