From Jumping Off to Jumping In

EVENT DETAILS

Kevin Hines is one of many people who chose to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. But he is one of only a handful of people who not only survived the jump, but turned his survival into a life-long mission of helping others struggling with depression and mental illness.

His journey is not one that he ventures alone – his wife Margaret is his partner in every sense of the word as they work together on mental health initiatives that have ripple effects for us all. Come hear the story of how they are turning tragedy into triumph, and how the lessons they have learned along the way have relevance for how each of us lives our life.
