Giving Guide: The Centers

MISSION:

The Centers provides a continuum of services designed to meet people wherever they are, from moments of crisis to building stability, strengthening families and improving well-being. Philanthropic support helps children and adolescents receive intensive inpatient treatment, connects people of all ages with outpatient counseling, provides safe and supportive homes through therapeutic foster care, supports survivors of human trafficking with specialized treatment and expands access to integrated care through an adjacent medical clinic and pharmacy. Each year, nearly 6,000 Arkansans rely on The Centers for whole-person healthcare.
