If we can reframe from such an early age what mental health means and what it's like... they may not understand it. But if there's any last thoughts you have on that, and you know, then I'll have one more question for you.
Mark and Kym Hilinski faced the unimaginable when their son Tyler, a promising quarterback at Washington State University, took his own life in 2018. He was just 21. Instead of letting their grief consume them, they channeled it into something powerful: the Hilinski's Hope Foundation. In this episode of 'Behind the Mind', host Kevin Meiselman sits down with the Hilinskis to discuss their journey from heartbreak to advocacy.
Tyler's story has resonated with many, shedding light on the urgent need for open conversations about mental health, especially among young men. Mark and Kym share how they navigated their immense loss and the steps they took to establish the foundation, which has since raised over $500,000 for mental health programs. These initiatives aim to educate, advocate, and break down the stigma surrounding mental illness.
The episode dives deep into crucial topics like suicide prevention, brain health, and the importance of mental health education. Mark and Kym's candid discussion offers invaluable insights into managing mental health risks and coping with loss. They also emphasize the need for honest dialogue and support systems to help those struggling. If you're looking for a heartfelt and informative conversation about mental health advocacy and resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
The Hilinskis' dedication to turning their tragedy into a beacon of hope is both inspiring and empowering. Tune in to hear their story and learn how Hilinski's Hope is making a difference.
