Mission Statement
At Ashley B. Childhood Advocate, our mission is to empower the next generation growing up in the Hood by helping them tap into their SUPERPOWERS—their unique gifts, talents, and voices—through the healing work of inner child advocacy.
We believe every child holds the potential for greatness. But sometimes, life in the Hood—filled with struggle, silence, and survival—can bury that potential under pain, fear, or unmet emotional needs. We're here to help them uncover it, own it, and shine anyway.
Why Inner Child Work Matters
Inside each of us lives an inner child—the playful, creative, and curious version of ourselves that still feels deeply and remembers everything.
That child carries the joy and magic of who we were before the world told us who we had to be.
But it also carries wounds.
Sometimes those wounds come from big things—like trauma, abuse, or neglect.
Other times, it’s the quiet pain of being unheard, having to grow up too fast, or feeling invisible in your own home.
No matter the story, healing the inner child is the first step to becoming whole—and to creating a future full of purpose, power, and peace.
At Ashley B., we don’t just talk change. We invest in it.
We help young people not only heal, but also create, build, and lead—on their own terms.
Because when they learn who they really are…
they change the world.
At Ashley B. Childhood Advocate, we believe healing starts from within.
Our mission is to help young people heal their inner child and build real confidence—so they can live a life full of purpose, peace, and pride.
We offer behavioral health support designed just for them.
Behavioral means how we respond—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually—to the world around us.
By helping youth understand their reactions and heal from past pain, we give them tools to cope, grow, and thrive.
We don’t just want them to survive.
We want them to live well.
