  <description>Kevin Hines jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in 2000 and lived to tell about it. While the suicide attempt broke his body, it did not break his spirit, and he has since dedicated his life to helping others overcome mental health challenges and teach them how to love the life they have. 
Kevin joins host Amy Forsythe to  talk about his own mental-health journey and how he turned his miraculous survival into a role of advocacy and an upcoming movie. "The Net," is a documentary named after a new initiative that prevents suicide on the bridge. Special Guest: Kevin Hines.
