Recovery Story
I get asked a lot to share recovery stories that I've heard from people. These stories can help to inspire hope, create normalcy for mental illness, and give people a voice who feel like they might not have one (or feel like people don't want to listen). Here's a video from someone who wants to share his own experience with mental illness.

I immediately recognized Kevin Hinds. I have read his book "Cracked, Not Broken". I had the good fortune to hear him speak this past July at the NAMI Convention in San Francisco. His story is very compelling and powerful. To this day he still struggles with suicidal ideations and he will also tell you that it is because of his wife and his family that he can manage through those difficult times. Thanks for sharing this link. I highly recommend the book.
