- Meet Kevin Hines, a mental health advocate with a remarkable story to tell about surviving his attempted suicide. Hines will visit Tucson next week to present his documentary film “Suicide: The Ripple Effect”. It tells about a network of people whose lives have been touched by suicide, who are working together to keep others from experiencing similar tragedies.
Intermountain Centers and Kevin Hines present a free screening of the award-winning documentary Suicide: The Ripple Effect on Friday, September 9th, at 7 p.m. at the Leo Rich Theatre, 206 S. Church Street in Tucson. It will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Hines. Click here for more information and to register for the screening.
