Emma's Bio:
Emma Benoit became extremely passionate about suicide prevention after surviving a suicide attempt in 2017, the summer before her senior year in high school. Her attempt resulted in a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed but helped her find faith and purpose; and propelled her on a mission to use her painful experience and miraculous recovery to help others.
In early 2018, Emma began working on a documentary film called My Ascension, that chronicles her recovery journey and advocacy work, while addressing the youth suicide epidemic.
Emma serves as an Ambassador for LivingWorks, and was a featured guest on Jada Pinkett Smith’s hit show “Red Table Talk”
Emma is an uplifting speaker who has shared her powerful story and message with thousands of people at in person and virtual conferences and events including: LivingWorks and California Department of Education Youth Summit, National Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health Conference, LSU School of Social Work Conference, Arkansas Youth Mental Health Conference, Hope Rising Suicide Prevention Summit and the Hope Squad National Conference.
