Of the more than 2,000 people who have attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge, only 36 have lived to tell about it. Kevin Hines is one of them and he’s coming to Atlantic Health System’s Festival of Hope to share his first-hand perspective on suicide prevention and mental health awareness. Kevin’s presentation is in large part thanks to our No More Whispers program, which is designed to motivate people to openly discuss feelings of depression and other emotional challenges. Displays and educational materials from the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the Mental Health Association and other partners will also be available. The event, which is funded by the Reiser Family Foundation, takes place on Saturday, September 15 from 9:00am to 1:00pm at Chilton Medical Center. Register now >
