I Matter Too with Dr. Ashley Perkins

I don’t know much about Twitter - but I’ve connected with someone truly amazing. She’s real and raw and open - and working diligently to break stigmas surrounding mental health. MY kind of people. And today, I’m honored to have her as my guest on The Be Ruthless Show. Ashley Perkins, PharmD, is a mental health advocate with a background as a pharmacist and educator. She graduated from Butler University's College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences in 2008 and is currently in the Ed program at Marshall University, with a focus on curriculum and instruction. In March of 2020, with John Bollinger, she formed We Matter Too, Inc. which focuses on helping those with mental health issues and mental disorders through first-person narratives of experience. On todays episode, we discuss a LOT of things, including what you can ask your pharmacist, the benefits of sharing - especially when you’re trained NOT to share, your rights, and more. Ashley also discusses We Matter Too, Inc and her book, I Matter Too - which absolutely everyone needs to read!!
