I want to help teach them that they can find a way to hold gratitude inside pain so they can be resilient from it, and gratitude and resilience happen to be the two most protective factors from suicide.
What happens when someone survives the seemingly unsurvivable? In this gripping episode of 'Instinctive Talk', host Jay Insalaco sits down with Kevin Hines, a man whose life story is nothing short of miraculous. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 19, Kevin's world took a dark turn, leading him to attempt suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Miraculously, he survived, becoming one of only 36 people to live through that 220-foot plunge.
But Kevin's journey didn't end there; it was just the beginning of a new mission. As a multi-award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author, and global mental health advocate, Kevin now dedicates his life to spreading a message of hope and resilience. His memoir, 'Cracked, Not Broken: Surviving and Thriving After A Suicide Attempt', and his documentary 'Suicide: The Ripple Effect' have touched countless lives.
In this episode, Kevin opens up about his struggles and triumphs, shedding light on the importance of gratitude, exercise, therapy, and education in his ongoing recovery. He also shares how he has become a bridge for others facing similar battles, offering support to families and individuals alike. This conversation is a heartfelt reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the power of community in overcoming life's darkest moments.
