Kevin Hines is a mental health advocate, global speaker, best-selling author, documentary filmmaker and entrepreneur who reaches audiences all over the world with his story of an unlikely survival and his strong will to live.

​Survivor Day is the one day a year when people affected by suicide loss gather around the world at events in their local communities to find comfort and gain understanding as they share stories of healing and hope. In 2016, there were over 350 Survivor Day events in 18 countries.

This year, all gatherings will include a screening of The Journey: A Story of Healing and Hope, a compelling AFSP-produced documentary about the suicide loss experience, as well the new follow-up featurette, The Journey Revisited, in which six of the original Journey participants gather three years later to reflect on how their grief and healing journey is evolving.

​An introduction to new strategies in prevention designed for youth and teens at-risk of self-harm. The course is designed to enhance awareness of youth suicide, recognize a youth at risk of self-harm, provide a model of trauma informed care and be introduced to healthy methods of coping. Learn to recognize that some youth have real life challenges which impact their ability to learn and self-regulate.
