TEDxMarshallU
• April 2021
Ashley Perkins, PharmD., pharmacist, Marshall University graduate student, and founder of We Matter Too, Inc., openly shares how her own struggles with mental diseases have helped her to relate to and help her patients who have mental diseases. Leading by example, she envisions a world where individuals are not defined by their diagnoses, but where stigmas are removed, mental diseases are spoken of openly without fear of judgement, and more people are comfortable seeking treatment.
