Kevin Hines was one of the most authentic, effective and memorable speakers I have had the honor to present in the over 30 years I have worked in Student Activities. He had an overflow crowd of students totally engaged and truly listening to what he had to say. There is no question that he touched everyone in attendance that night and more importantly he allowed people to open up and tell their stories and be heard. I would not be surprised if Kevin’s presentation did not change many lives that night and perhaps save some as well.

HELLO FRIENDS

I am Kevin Hines and I am living mentally well, while having the brain illness Bipolar Disorder. I was diagnosed at 17 years of age. Finally, I have found a balanced life, and ability to fight for Mental Wellness. I hope that no matter what you are going through psychologically, that you too may soon find help. It is possible to live well with a serious Mental Health Issue. It takes a great deal of hard work and dedication. But first and foremost, it takes complete acceptance of your particular Mental Health Condition, to finally Live Mentally Well.It is my life’s work to reach out to all communities and speak up and often about my battle with Bipolar Disorder. It is my goal to help those suffering find help and commit to some form of effective treatment plan. I want to help give everyone the ability to find hope for their future.Good Journey to you all!
