Using questions gathered from participants throughout the day, Tim will challenge Michael to use a brain science approach in providing answers.

Let's Talk Suicide
Please check out this exciting event that we are proud to sponsor! Prevent Suicide Spokane Coalition (PSSC) is bringing Kevin Hines to Spokane on November 3rd. Kevin is a multi-award-winning filmmaker, bestselling author as well as an award-winning global suicide prevention and mental health advocate. Two years after he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19, he attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. He is now one of only 36 people who’ve survived that 220-foot jump. Though that fall would break his body, it did not break his spirit. Since that fateful day, Kevin has dedicated his life to spreading a message of hope and openly discussing mental health, often times becoming a bridge between people who have made similar attempts and their parents, siblings, children, spouses and friends.
