Talking Suicide Prevention with Kevin Hines

Two years after Kevin Hines was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. The fall broke his body, but not his spirit. Since then, Hines has dedicated his life to saving lives, becoming an award-winning global suicide prevention and mental health advocate and one of the most respected voices of lived experience.

Hines’s story — the only evidence-based story of a suicide attempt survived — is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit. Hear him tell it during the 16th installment in our popular Wellbeing Wednesdays series. In this episode, the award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author and entrepreneur will share his thoughts on brain health, living mentally well and what motivates him.
