Ashleigh is the first in the country clinical nurse specialist- specializing in mental health in a traditional hospital setting at Helen DeVos Children Hospital

"One of the important roles Ashleigh has is changing the conversation by how we talk about mental health and suicide.  She is working on defining  suicide so that it is less stigmatized so we can talk about the pain that comes from things such as bullying, heartbreak, physical pain or mental illness and the potentially deadly side affect pain has."   - Vonnie Woodrick
