To help reduce stigma around mental health and suicide, EPIC Behavioral Healthcare, Investing In Kids INK!, St. Johns County School District, United Way of St. Johns County, Lutheran Services Florida, Betty Griffin Center, St. Augustine Youth Services - SAYS, and The Tonya Kuc Foundation are advocating for the importance of talking about suicide awareness and prevention by screening the film.

“My Ascension” chronicles the story of 16-year-old high school varsity cheerleader Emma Benoit, who was paralyzed by a suicide attempt, which propelled her on a mission to use her painful experience to help others find hope and stay alive.

The screening will be followed by an engaging discussion on youth suicide prevention and mental wellness with Emma herself and local mental health and suicide prevention experts.

Additionally, there will be resource tables sharing important information on mental health and suicide prevention.
