COVID-19 Response: Free, daily, online recovery support is available

As part of our response to COVID-19, Ashley has worked to create solutions for the social limitations facing our alumni. We know that connection is the key to recovery. For some people, social distancing may limit a person’s access to their support system. In that spirit, we are offering virtual 12-Step support groups daily at 9:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m. EST. 

We plan to push out updates through email and in the Chalk Talk app. If you want to learn more and don’t have access to one or both, please sign up below to receive the meeting link or download the app by searching “Chalk Talk – Ashley Treatment” in the app store. *Please note the Chalk Talk app is carefully curated for our alumni only.

We want to consider all the ways in which we can support you in your ongoing recovery. If you need us, we’re here for you!

About the meetings:

  • These meetings are Ashley Alumni-run meetings, and guidelines have been created by Ashley staff.
  • Please mute your audio if you are not sharing and virtually raise your hand when you would like to share (the raise hand feature is in “reactions”).
  • Format of the meetings will vary, 9:00 a.m. – 30-minute meditation meeting, 1:00 p.m. – 30-minute recovery literature meeting, 6:00 p.m. – 1-hour meeting.
  • Meetings are intended for Ashley Alumni and others seeking connection.
  • Please be respectful of all other participants.
 

Common Solutions

As part of Ashley’s PRIME Project (Peer Recovery In Minority Communities), our IOP Peer Recovery Specialist will facilitate a regular Common Solutions Peer Support Group providing a safe, comfortable setting for minority participants to share lived experiences and resources. Resources may include alumni and guest speakers, all of whom will be required to sign non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements designed to protect the privacy of participants.

Meetings will be held Fridays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Contact Lem Satterfield at 443-760-3456, ext. 459 to join!

One step more: Supporting your recovery after Ashley

Recovery starts here, but it continues in the life that you go on to create for yourself. We understand that it can be challenging to stay healthy on your own. That’s why we are dedicated to being your partner on your personal path to recovery.

Using your feedback for data-driven support

You can make a difference in another person’s recovery. Ashley continually improves post-recovery support services by analyzing data gathered from patients for 12 months after treatment through a monthly emailed survey. Your honest feedback on these surveys will aid in the successful recovery of future patients.
