Family Crisis Center, Inc.

Every day someone is affected by the tragedy of being victimized by sexual or domestic violence. The Family Crisis Center is here to provide immediate crisis care, support, and hope to those individuals and their families. It is our mission to keep individuals in Northeast Arkansas safe by protecting their legal rights, offering counseling and education, offering methods of support, keeping them from harm's way and being their voice. Despite all the laws that are currently in place to protect these people, the numbers are absolutely shocking in terms of the epidemic of gender-based violence and sexual assault. It is our ultimate goal to assist ALL victims of violence, individuals and children; but in order to see that happen, education must be present in the workplace, schools, churches, locker rooms, courtrooms and in all other areas within our community. We make education and awareness in the community a high priority in our fight to end these heinous crimes. All of our services are 110% free and confidential. As one out of only three organizations in the entire state of Arkansas with an in-house medical examination room, we want to stress the importance of our mission, as this is not something we take lightly, and we are with you from A-Z. If you are a victim in need, our 24/7 crisis hotline number is (870) 933-9449. It is also our job to offer a continuing education and maintain a general awareness throughout the public. If you would like us to come speak at an event or gathering, please reach out to our business line at (870) 972-9575.
