We exist to help all those in NWA who are not able to call home a safe place, those who are or have experienced domestic abuse, sexual abuse, or sex trafficking. We strive to make all individuals in NWA feel safe, seen, home, and human.

Domestic violence does not discriminate against age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. Thus, we offer free, non-judgmental, non-discriminatory, confidential services to the entire NWA community: men, women, children, LGBTQ+ individuals, and immigrants. You also never need any kind of documentation to receive services.

No one ever deserves to experience abuse. No matter what abuse you’ve endured or where you are in your healing journey, we are here for you. We can offer you emergency shelter if you are currently in a dangerous situation and need somewhere safe to go. We also offer many services and programs for those individuals who do not need immediate safe shelter.
