ABOUT US

Who is Ashley?

An innocent child thrown into a system historically designed for and oriented to adults. A system that has few provisions and concessions to the specific needs and fragile state of children who are, through no choice of their own, expected to enter into yet another threatening adult environment.

Real stories

Families and partners share what Ashley's Place means to them.

“I am stronger than what I was, and I’m better than what I would have become. I’m UNSTOPPABLE”

An Ashley’s Place Child

“Ashley’s Place is so warm and child-friendly. We are moving forward as a family, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the services provided to us by Ashley’s Place. I am so thankful to everyone there for supporting our family. It’s a team effort there. No, it’s more than that. It’s more like a family. A family that welcomed us in as their own….and helped us to walk away on our own.”

An Ashley’s Place Child

“By grace of God, my call to Ashley’s Place was the beginning of the healing journey for which we will forever be grateful. My daughter was talking to someone! Actually, talking and connecting and understanding how to process what had happened to her and begin to heal. She grew so much that still thinking back on it, makes my heart swell with gratitude, love and above all…thankfulness to Ashley’s Place for helping bring my daughter out of her shell and learn to communicate her feelings and thoughts to others in a health way. Ashley’s Place didn’t try to change my child to tell her what to feel. Instead, they allowed my child to choose her path of healing and they walked along beside her, guiding and supporting her the entire way.”

Parent of an Ashley’s Place Child

“When I first started coming, I was scared, but the staff helped me overcome my fear, of telling other people my story and what happened. They reassured me, by letting me know this was a safe place.”
