After son's suicide, Mark and Kym Hilinski created Hilinski's Hope Foundation; they're giving 'Tyler Talks' on mental health to college athletes across country
Mark and Kym Hilinski stand near midcourt at Viejas Arena, looking up at about 300 San Diego State athletes, coaches and staff members.
“The point isn’t to make you uncomfortable,” Mark Hilinski said. “The point is to find some hope in the story.”“So, if we can talk about that a little bit, and really give each other a break a little bit, I think we’ll be better off.” Washington State was down 21 points with six minutes to play before Hilinski rallied the Cougars to a 47-44 victory in triple overtime.
Whether that contributed in some way to Tyler’s death remains among the questions that always come back to this: Why?Depression is among the symptoms for Stage 1 CTE.Mark told a story about Tyler driving his roommmate to counseling. Tyler would wait in the car outside during the sessions, then drive them home afterwards.
“Talking about mental health is something that every school, every university should do because student-athletes are all pretty similar in that we all go through a lot and we all push it,” Shawcroft said. “The majority of athletes can push through it, but a lot of people have setbacks. They have stuff at home that they don’t talk about. They’re going through their own struggles.”
There also are mental health components to programs called Aztec Warrior Wellness and Aztecs Going Pro. Kym said that when Tyler died, they sat down as a family, she, Mark, older son Kelly and younger son Ryan, to determine “how we try to live and breathe and walk again without our son.”The first option was to remain in Southern California, “dig our heads in the sand and ignore the fact that our son left by suicide.”“That would really be enforcing that stigma, and that’s just not what we’re about,” she said.
Mark and Kym Hilinski pose for a picture at their home Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2018, in Irvine. The parents of Washington State quarterback Tyler Hilinski, who killed himself in Pullman, Wash., in January, have become advocates for greater awareness of mental health issues among student-athletes.The day he died, Tyler waited until his roommates left their apartment. That way, no one else would be hurt.
