Save the date! Roland-Story is honored to welcome guest speaker Emma Benoit on Thursday, October 16.

Through her recovery, she has shared her story to inspire hope and raise awareness. She has been featured in the documentary My Ascension and on national programs including “Red Table Talk” and “The Dr. Phil Show.”

The event will take place from 5:00 to 8:00pm at the Mental Health Expo (515 Clark Avenue, Ames). Emma will present at 7:00pm.
