Hey all! As many of you know, earlier this year I was very blessed to be given the opportunity to interview Kevin Hines (international suicide prevention speaker and award-winning filmmaker) for the 2nd volume of my book series, 'Reasons to Live: One More Day, Every Day.' If you've already checked out my new book, you'll be able to read a snippet of this interview in the book, however, I also wanted to release the raw audio file as there was so much great content that I think would really be of interest to those passionate about mental wellness. Although this recording is unfortunately not to the quality of most of my podcasts (due to some tech difficulties that came on the day with a last-minute location change), there are still plenty of fascinating discussions throughout this episode that are worth listening to. So I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes listen into our published interview! In this episode, we discuss: •How Kevin positively manages his bipolar, and why he doesn't see it as something to 'suffer' from •Why Kevin admitted himself into psychiatric care earlier this year & how he had skyrocketed into such severe mania, that he - at times - couldn't even recognise his wife •How caregivers can better care for their own mental health while looking after their loved ones (like Kevin's wife Margaret) •His thoughts on lived-experience organisations who censor survivors voices •And whether there's any validity to the idea that talking about suicide increases suicidality To find out more about Kevin and Margaret Hines' life-saving work, head to: http://www.kevinhinesstory.com/ Purchase a copy of 'Suicide the Ripple Effect' at: http://www.kevinhinesstory.com/suicide-the-ripple-effect
