Podcast appearances and mentions of emma benoit

Don't miss this interview if you have teens! Emma Benoit is showing her powerful documentary in St. Johns County this week. It's a story of surviving her own dark thoughts, and through the film she is bringing hope and healing to so many across the country. The film is called My Ascension and we're honored to have Emma in studio with us today.

There's no question that suicide has become an epidemic in our country and world today. Suicide is now the second leading cause of death among people aged 15–24 in the U.S., and according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, nearly 20% of high school students report serious thoughts of suicide with 9% having made an attempt to end their lives. Beyond that, there's a significant concern for our girls and our daughters as the CDC recently reported that 57% of our girls reported signs of persistent sadness and depression, with 30% of our girls reporting seriously considering and contemplating suicide. This is alarming and is a fight that we must all stand up and fight against through creating environments of safety and vulnerability for people so they understand they do not have to suffer in silence. Thankfully today, we have a very special guest who has a personal testimony around the topic of suicide as she is a suicide attempt survivor and now renowned mental health and suicide prevention advocate, Emma Benoit. In this conversation Emma helps expose many of the pressures and stressors facing today's generations, but she also provides us with hope, encouragement, and strategies that we can begin implementing within our homes, friendships, and workplaces to work against the suicide epidemic. One thing we know is that just because someone carries it well does not mean that it's not heavy. Together, we can remind people that they were made for so much more! Emma's Website: https://www.myascension.us/emma-speaksMyAscension Documentary: https://www.myascension.us/

Emma has such an important message for moms and for someone out there listening this episode could save your teens life. Emma Benoit became extremely passionate about suicide prevention after surviving a suicide attempt in 2017, the summer before her senior year in high school. At the time, she was a popular varsity cheerleader with a supportive family and lots of friends, but on the inside, she was filled with depression and anxiety, and had never told a soul about it. 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. A few months after her attempt, Emma started the website liferejuvenated.org and a blog to share her story and recovery journey, in an effort to help other teens who are struggling. In early 2018, Emma began working on a documentary film called My Ascension, which was released in 2021, that chronicles her recovery journey and advocacy work, while addressing the youth suicide epidemic.

In this powerful episode, Chris Shaw talks about navigating the mental health care system, teen suicide statistics, reluctant legislators, post COVID spike in stressors, survivor trauma to strategies and changing attitudes about mental illness. Chris speaks about mental health challenges from the inside out, as one who has struggled with depression and substance abuse to creating The HEART and MIND Connection, a mental health advocate and education non-profit. Chris Shaw, CPSS, CFPS, CPRS Chris grew up in NY City and moved to Stillwater, MN when his mother remarried. He is a 3-tour Navy Veteran and went to U of W River Falls and got his BA in English. He  toured as a stand-up comedian and struggled with mental health challenges and a near-fatal suicide attempt in 2015. During a treatment stay at the Minneapolis VA Hospital he met a “Peer Support Specialist.” Through that experience, he trained to became a Certified Peer Support Specialist and then founded The HEART and MIND Connection. QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS CHRIS: “...not all diseases are visible. And what we're talking about are people walking around who on the outside look perfectly quote unquote normal, and yet are dealing with a crap storm inside of their brain...” CHRIS:  “...with everything going on and everything being thrown at kids, they just wanna know that they matter.”  CHRIS:  “Nobody who has a family member who gets cancer, goes, oh my gosh, what did I do that gave them cancer? We just don't do that. And, and we need to stop doing that about mental health.” CHRIS:  “The past is where depression develops and the future is where anxiety lives. “ PAT: “There is... a generational shift in how mental illness is perceived. Millennials and the Generation Z's, they're much more accepting and knowledgeable about mental illness than previous generations.” CHRIS:  “Kindness could be the simplest thing...people say, I don't have any education in mental health and I don't have any experience... Hey, have you ever smiled at somebody? Have you ever asked somebody, how are you - then you have experience.” LINKS The HEART and MIND Connection MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID USA Seriously MENTAL with Chris Shaw!

At age 16 Emma was a varsity cheerleader for her high school's top sports teams with a supportive family and lots of friends. But what no one knew was that Emma was struggling with anxiety and depression. Emma's life appeared perfect to outsiders and she thought no one would understand why she wasn't happy or content with her life because from the outside, she appeared to have it all. Emma attempted suicide and became paralysed as a result. In the United States, Suicide is the second leading cause of death for people aged 10-34. In Australia, Suicide is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15–24.As you'll hear Emma share, her life purpose is now to share her experience and mental health journey with other teenagers, their families, schools and communities. In particular, she's passionately advocating for more support in schools to help students to access education and support for their mental health.Emma's documentary, directed by Greg Dicharry, is called My Ascension - a feature-length film that was created to inspire and educate audiences, while providing a spark to help individuals and communities save lives and enhance suicide prevention efforts.

In this episode, I chat with Emma Benoit who survived a suicide attempt at 16.   She's using her painful experience to help others find hope in the darkest of days.  Emma became extremely passionate about suicide prevention after her suicide attempt in 2017, the summer before her senior year in high school.  At the time, she was a popular varsity cheerleader with a supportive family and lots of friends, but on the inside, she was filled with depression and anxiety, and had never told a soul about it.  Her attempt resulted in a spinal cord injury but helped her find faith and purpose; and propelled her on a mission to use her painful experience and miraculous recovery to help others.   Emma has shared her story through her blog at liferejuvenated.org in an effort to help other teens who are struggling.   In early 2018, Emma began working on a documentary film called My Ascension, which is now complete and chronicles her recovery journey and advocacy work, while addressing the youth suicide epidemic.  I'm so proud of Emma for dedicating her life to inspire and save others.  Her story of hope, faith and love is super powerful.   If you would like to share this episode, leave a review on Apple podcasts and that will help others who are struggling find Emma's story.   Thanks for being here.  Hugs, LorriFollow:  https://bit.ly/ImDyingToTellYouInstagram and https://bit.ly/ImDyingToTellYouTwitter
