Kevin Berthia is the most gracious, easy-to-smile, grateful person we know. Kevin lost sight of gratitude in 2005 when he attempted to take his life at The Golden Gate Bridge. After jumping the railing, he stood on a narrow 4" cord about 220 feet in the air. For 96 minutes, with nothing to stop him from falling except a listening ear, with his head pressed to the Golden Gate's rust-colored tower and the heels of his shoes resting on nothing but air, Kevin spoke with a first responder who eventually talked him back over the railing.
Since, he has presented his story of hope on THE IMPACT OF LISTENING to national audiences and has been featured by multiple media outlets. The photo of Kevin standing on the cord was front page of the San Francisco Chronical, placed on the 75 most iconic photos of the 21st Century, and has since gone viral on social media. Today, Kevin Berthia is a grateful Suicide Prevention Advocate, encouraging people to talk through their problems rather than think about ending their lives. Kevin believes that depression may be a part of you, but it is not who you are.
