Kevin Hines attempted to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, a means that only 1% survive. As a world-renowned author and speaker, Kevin shares his incredible story of hope, recovery, and wellness, inspiring hundreds of thousands of people to reach out for help and choose life, hope, and healing instead of suicide. He has been featured on CNN, Fox, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Good Morning America, BBC World, The Today Show, and other international media outlets.

Margaret, Kevin’s wife, has been instrumental in Kevin’s recovery and is a caregiver for other people who struggle with mental illness. Together, they saw a need to make an even bigger impact and change the way the world views brain health and people with lived-experience.

Now, through their keystone project, CNQR, they are bringing Kevin’s message along with other inspiring experts with lived-expertise to cities where professionals can access his message in order to better engage people and their caretakers still suffering with mental illness and suicidal ideation.

CNQR is the keystone project of the Kevin and Margaret Hines Foundation, founded by Kevin and Margaret Hines to address the countless requests for help that they get from high schools, colleges, military bases, and companies, that another suicide has been completed in their community, agency and company, and more support is needed to prevent it from happening again.
