For years, Emma Beniot quietly struggled with anxiety and depression, too ashamed to share her pain with family or friends. At 16, she attempted to end her life; the self-inflicted gunshot left her paralyzed.
“My Ascension” chronicles Beniot’s recovery journey and advocacy work while addressing the youth suicide epidemic.
