The Pennyroyal Center hosted a “Let’s Talk” event Tuesday evening about mental health and suicide prevention at Hopkinsville Community College.
Community members gathered to watch ‘Suicide: The Ripple Effect’; the story of Kevin Hines who survived a suicide attempt at the age of 19 after jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.
