Summary

In this episode, Dr. Meeker and Emma Benoit discuss the hard topic of suicide in teens and what every parent

should know. At the age of 16, Emma attempted suicide. 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 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.
