Suicide Awareness with Kevin Hines
Two years after he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (at 19 years of age), Kevin attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. The fall would break his body, but not his spirit. Today, Kevin dedicates his life to saving lives by spreading the message of hope and sharing his art of living mentally well. Come join us in this event to highlight the importance of suicide awareness so that we can work on this issue together as a community. This is a free event with first come first serve basis.
