"It's pretty amazing that Heidi is alive to tell her story, but even more amazing to hear her story and to learn how she is getting better, how others can get better and how we can support those who are working to get better." Dr. LeBron Rankins, Ithaca College
"Heidi is poised, personable and articulate as a presenter, and her experience as an attempt survivor provides her with a unique perspective..." Dr. John Draper, Director, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
