Kevin Hines has a remarkable survival story to tell. It starts with the fact that he survived even though he didn’t want to.
The City of Shelbyville’s Department of Behavioral Health and Equity brought the nationally recognized suicide prevention advocate and storyteller to speak with local students and the community on Wednesday.
Hines, a best-selling author, award-winning filmmaker, and mental health champion, is one of only 36 people to survive a suicide attempt from the Golden Gate Bridge. Since that day in 2000, he has dedicated his life to spreading a message of hope, recovery, and the critical importance of mental health awareness.
Hines spoke to Shelbyville High School and Shelbyville Middle School students and then Wednesday evening, he returned to Shelbyville Middle School for a community session.
