About this Event
A suicide attempt left 16 year old varsity cheerleader, Emma Benoit, paralyzed, but propelled her on a mission to use her painful experience to help others find hope, and shine more light on the fact that 20 young people die every day by suicide in the in the United States . My Ascension is a feature length documentary that chronicles Emma's inspiring journey and quest to walk again, as she works to bring Hope Squad, a school based suicide prevention program, to Louisiana. The film also highlights the stories of two remarkable young people who tragically did not survive their attempts, and we learn first hand from their families, friends, school officials and suicide prevention experts about the devastating effects of suicide and what can be done to prevent it.
This event will include a brief welcome, viewing of the documentary, a panel discussion, and conclusion. Each participant will be provided with resources from the community about mental health and suicide.
