HINESIGHTS Podcast — Dr. John Gibson: Cameron’s Legacy, Hope in Action
Content note: suicide loss, survival, and recovery.
In this deeply personal, compassionate conversation, I sit down with Dr. John Gibson, father of Cameron, who died by suicide. John and his wife have transformed unimaginable grief into life-saving purpose through The Canmore Trust, a UK charity funding lived-experience education, compassionate training, and safer systems of care. Please visit and support their work: https://TheCanmoreTrust.co.uk
John shares a moment that changed both of our lives. He was sitting in a seminar at the International Association for Suicide Prevention Congress in Vienna, Austria when I walked in. He recognized me and whispered, “This is Kevin Hines,” and he began to cry. Some time earlier, during his own darkest hour after losing Cameron, John had found a YouTube clip of me describing my instant regret the millisecond I leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge. That message cut across his suicidal thinking—and stopped him from taking his life.
After that, John picked up my second memoir, The Art of Being Broken. He told me he read it in four hours flat, and in those pages he discovered the power of narrative—that telling your story can save other lives. He felt a spiritual calling to speak Cameron’s name, share their family’s journey, and move hope into action. Today, through The Canmore Trust and his courageous testimony, Cameron’s story is saving lives.
If you’ve lost someone, if you’re supporting a loved one, or if you’re carrying your own pain, I hope this episode meets you with gentleness and strength. Please listen, share it forward, and consider supporting The Canmore Trust: https://TheCanmoreTrust.co.uk

🔗 The Top 10 Ways Social Media Can Save Lives 🔗
Did you know that social media can be a life-saving tool for those struggling with mental health or suicidal ideation? 🌍❤️ I’m proud to share that my social media model, now backed by scientific research, has been shown to not only save lives but also increase help-seeking behaviors and improve outreach to crisis centers, call and text lines. 📞💬
In a groundbreaking study, researchers found that when we share authentic stories of resilience and hope, mental health struggles become less isolating, and those in pain feel more supported. 📲 The study concluded that positive, actionable content – like the work we’re doing together here – sparks critical conversations and directs individuals to life-saving resources.
So, how can social media be used to help others in crisis? Here are the Top 10 Ways:
- Breaking the Silence – Creating space for open, non-judgmental discussions around mental health.
- Increased Accessibility – Making crisis resources easier to find and access with one click.
- Authentic Storytelling – Sharing real stories of survival and recovery encourages others to reach out.
- Real-Time Support – Immediate engagement and connection to mental health professionals or peers.
- Educational Content – Providing information about warning signs and mental health tools.
- Visible Resources – Featuring helplines and text lines prominently in content.
- Building a Supportive Community – Fostering online spaces where people feel heard and validated.
- Engagement & Encouragement – Offering words of hope, empowerment, and validation in the comment sections.
- Reducing Stigma – Challenging the stereotypes and misconceptions about mental health.
- Promoting Self-Care – Sharing tips, reminders, and resources to nurture mental well-being.
✨ The study proves that when we harness social media for good, we can create a ripple effect that saves lives. Let’s continue to create media for good—media that uplifts, inspires, and directs people toward life-saving help.
Together, we have the power to change the narrative on mental health. 💪💙
👇 Drop a comment and tell me how you’re using your social media to spread positivity and save lives!

My Brothers Keeper series created to highlight the uniqueness to the African American Community and the disparities faced when people of color are in need of services.
What happens at the intersection of mental health and one’s experience as a member of the Black community? While the experience of being Black in America varies tremendously, there are shared cultural factors that play a role in helping define mental health and supporting well-being, resiliency and healing.
Part of this shared cultural experience — family connections, values, expression through spirituality or music, reliance on community and religious networks — are enriching and can be great sources of strength and support.
However, another part of this shared experience is facing racism, discrimination and inequity that can significantly affect a person’s mental health. Being treated or perceived as “less than” because of the color of your skin can be stressful and even traumatizing. Additionally, members of the Black community face structural challenges accessing the care and treatment they need.

This podcast features King Hunter, a leader who aims for what he wants. He is a musician, comedian, and successful black entrepreneur. In 2017 King attempted to take a turn in a different direction and opened a door for better opportunities. He didn’t have the best upbringing and grew up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood. He realized that poverty wasn’t his set destination and he never gave up on self-improvement and changing his situation. King is now a successful businessman in real estate, renting Airbnb’s out to prospects throughout Atlanta. He continues to pursue his dreams as a comedian/musician through stand-up comedy and plays music across the United States. His motto: #You won’t regret how far you get.
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most recognizable structures to define a modern city. Yet, for author Kevin Hines the bridge is not merely a marker of a place or a time. Instead, the bridge marks the beginning of his remarkable story. At 19-years-old, Kevin attempted to take his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge - a distance which took four seconds to fall. Recently diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, Kevin had begun to hear voices telling him he had to die, and days before his attempt, he began to believe them.
The fall would break his body, but not his spirit. His story chronicles the extraordinary will of the author to live mentally well in the face of his mental illness: bipolar disorder with psychotic features. With each mental breakdown, however, the author's desire to live mentally well - and to be a mental health advocate - pulls him from the depths of his condition. Kevin's story is a remarkable testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder to us to love the life we have. His story also reminds us that living mentally well takes time, endurance, hard work, and support. With these disciplines in place, those living with even very difficult diagnoses can achieve better lives for themselves and those who help to support and care for them.
This book is awarding winning and comes highly recommended. It's available on many platforms such as Amazon.
We’re back for our season 3 kickoff on September 1st, 2022! Join us and our friends as we host an all new group of guests, and share stories of triumph over incredible adversity.

Your mental pain is totally valid and real.
The ways each of us copes with pain are totally different. For some, it might be self-care, therapy, or peer-support sessions. Whichever works for you is great!
Just remember: if you are in a dark spot, reach out!
In this Ask Kev episode, Kevin recalls the day he had to get off his meds for 24 hours which led to a 73-hour hallucinatory episode, but after that, he went off his meds again, without telling anyone.
Never, ever go off your medications without professional counseling or guidance. What happened to Kevin can happen to anyone if they do so without the proper management. Having proper scheduling and dosage of medication can be a game-changer for individuals.
Medication is not for everybody but it wouldn’t hurt to try and see if it’s beneficial for your mental state.
In this episode, we sit down and have a chat with Spencer Taylor.
He is Logan Paul’s videographer, and he’s here to share his story not only working with him but what inspires his work. He acknowledges that his life had a complete spin when he was in college.

You might be surprised of how much your life can improve with therapy!
In this episode of Ask Kevs, he recalls some of his worst maniac episodes.
Kevin is open to chatting about his mania and the episodes he’s had. He explains what causes them and what happens when the episode ends.

Kevin sees his condition, not as a curse but a blessing, tune in and discover what he says about it!
