My Ascension: A Journey of Hope, Healing, and Resilience
Join us for a powerful screening of My Ascension, the inspiring story of Emma Benoit, a high school student who bravely faced depression and anxiety despite her outward success. After surviving a suicide attempt in 2017 that left her with a spinal cord injury, Emma transformed her pain into purpose through advocacy. Special Highlight: Emma Benoit will be present in person for a Q&A session, allowing students to engage directly with her story and insights.
