A series of miracles saved Emma Benoit’s life, but the self-inflicted gunshot shot wound resulted in a spinal cord injury that left her paralyzed. Although extremely tragic, the incident propelled her on a mission to use her painful experience and miraculous recovery to help others find hope and live.
Followed by Q&A with Emma Benoit, Film Director Greg Dicharry, and Jenni Stevenson, Director of Crisis Services at Elevate; and local mental health advocates.
