Ashley shares her childhood experiences and her growth into being a mental health advocate following years of therapy and counseling.

“Don’t be afraid to talk about it…. Speak up. Doesn’t matter if you know someone who is considering it, or if you are the person considering it. Go to everybody. Go to a complete stranger. Call someone. Doesn’t even have to be anyone you know, especially if you’re worried about someone you know freaking out on you. Call someone. There are places to go for that. There are people who are willing to sit there and listen, who can help.”
