‘Ripple Effect’ to be shown

IRON MOUNTAIN –“Suicide The Ripple Effect” will be shown from 6 to 8 p.m. today at Bay West Room WC231.

With endorsements from some of the world’s leading suicide prevention experts, this 2018 film has screenings planned around the world. “Kevin Hines’ ‘Suicide The Ripple Effect’ is a marvel of inspiration, a film that should be seen by anyone who has known despair, and anyone who is or has been close to someone in a suicidal crisis,” said Dr. John Draper of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

The film chronicles the story of Kevin Hines, who at age 19 attempted to take his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Since then, Hines has been on a mission to use his story to help others find recovery.

“Suicide is difficult to talk about, but it has impacted so many people in our community,” said Tracy Johnson, prevention specialist and Communities That Care coordinator. “We are hosting this screening to draw more attention to this issue and so people in crisis can find hope and get help before it is too late.”

This is a free viewing. A question and answer session will follow.
