Surviving Suicide is a 45-minute documentary about four people who have had an intimate relationship with suicide and are now living for hope. We explore the lives and experiences of Tim Haughian, Bonnie Bricker, Dariyn Jensen and Griffin Jenkins. Tim lost his father and brother to suicide, and once tried to take his own life. Griffin and Dariyn both struggled with their mental health in their teenage years. Bonnie lost her son to suicide and has taken up mental health advocacy. They discuss the struggles they’ve had with mental health and the tools they’ve used to persevere. While their paths to finding hope have been different, they all share the desire to spread suicide awareness.
