Ashley Buerger - Road2Home

Speaker Ashley Buerger & Mary Humphries

Topic:  An Introduction and Update to Road2Home.

Ashley is a Bellingham resident born and raised in Whatcom County, living for a short time in Hawaii as a young child. In her free time, she enjoys backpacking, road trips, hanging out at concerts in the park (when they are allowed again), and going for long bike rides. Ashley attended WWU for her Bachelor's degree in Therapeutic Recreation and received a Master's degree in Healthcare Administration from The University of Washington. Her formal training includes crisis de-escalation, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, equity and inclusion, and DBT skills, in addition to the clinical education she received for her certification as a Recreation Therapist. Ashley has a strong background working with individuals from early childhood education to aging adults and memory care. In her most recent years, she has worked in an inpatient behavioral health setting, which has fueled her passion for driving change for individuals in crisis. Her primary focus is helping individuals improve the quality of their lives and live a life truer to their goals. Ashley is thrilled to have the opportunity to dive into projects for Road2Home.
