Ashley Miers Release Party Also A Fundraising Event
. In her youth, Ashley was exposed to drugs and alcohol and began her struggle with serious anxiety and depression. She has experienced the unfortunate consequences experienced by many of those with untreated or under-treated mental health and substance use disorders including jail and hospitalization. Despite this, and perhaps largely because of it, she has dedicated herself to recovery and has strived to achieve her dreams. Her perseverance has enabled her to earn her college degree and record/release a 3-song EP and full-length album of her original music. In her own words: "My life experiences have taught me first-hand what it is like to deal with tough issues, and I've also learned that there is a lot of stigma, misunderstanding and just plain ignorance about mental health and all it entails. I want to endorse Mental Health America because I recognize that being mentally healthy can allow a person to achieve so much fulfillment in all areas of life � work, relationships, self-esteem and so much more. I want to use my music � which has helped pull me through some very tough times � to help others make it through their struggles and know they are not alone." "We are proud to share the stage with Ashley," said David Shern, Ph.D., president and CEO of Mental Health America. ""She recognizes the importance of mental health and its positive impact on every person's total wellness. And we applaud her for making a difference."
