A senior at Iroquois high school has been involved in suicide awareness and prevention for several years. Rebecca Bich actively worked to schedule the film My Ascension to the Huron Luxury Cinema. The film is about a former varsity cheerleader Emma Benoit who attempted to take her own life. My Ascencion is about the day that changed Emma’s life. The film is to spread hope and fight suicide. Rebecca was asked what got her to the point of helping to schedule the film presentation and program.
Middle and high school students are encouraged to attend and they welcome and encourage support people to accompany them to the showing. The film is one hour and will be followed by a discussion panel. Rebecca talks about the program.
The event is free to attend. The film My Ascension will be presented by the Huron Luxury Cinema at 6:30 Monday night. It is sponsored by the 988 Helpline Center, Beadle County Survivors and Community Counseling Services.
