During depression the world disappears. Language itself. One has nothing to say. Nothing. Kristin experienced this misery, yet still managed to touch many lives and even in death continues to help others find help for their depression.
The Kristin Brooks Hope Center was created to help those in crisis find help and hope immediately. The site and her story gives you a raw, personal glimpse into depression, and how it affects those around you. In addition, you will find the only clear, step-by-step path for you to follow out of the darkness. There is hope and you can feel happy again!

Suicide Prevention Playing Cards

This full Deck of 52 Cards plus two Jokers contains the clinical warning signs for risk of suicide. In addition, on the face cards are famous people who suffered from depression or other mental health disorders, and either succumbed to them or overcame them. On the back of each card you will find the crisis hotline 1-800-SUICIDE and our website www.hopeline.com

The cards were designed by Drew Schorno and are given to each person who donates $50 or more to the Kristin Brooks Hope Center. When you make your donation please specify which item you would like (cards or wristband.) Each $50 donation or more gets both the Suicide Playing Cards and the wristband.

If you would like to purchase several decks as stocking stuffers (or more than 10 for your awareness event), please contact Elena at elena@hopeline.com

Please Don't Jump

This postcard says:

I have lived in San Francisco since I was young. I am illegal. I am not wanted here. I don't belong anywhere. This summer I plan to jump off the Golden Gate.
