HYPE Day #6: Kevin Hines

As a man who survived a suicide attempt by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge, Kevin inspires and educates others about living mentally healthy in the hopes of preventing more suicides.

He is a best-selling author, documentary filmmaker, and suicide prevention and mental health advocate who has reached millions with his personal story. At 17, Kevin was diagnosed with bipolar disorder; his suicide attempt came two years later.

Since then, Kevin’s strong will to live and stay mentally healthy has inspired people worldwide, and his journey to wellness has become a bridge of hope between life and death to others who seek ways to overcome mental pain and suffering.
