About us
The Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter provides free emergency shelter, food, and clothing to victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault. We provide a free 24-hour crisis phone line and services to clients. We also offer court advocacy, Spanish bilingual services, children’s advocacy and programming, community education, support groups, counseling, and a volunteer program. We also provide longer-term support for abuse survivors through our outreach (non-residential) and rehousing programs. Domestic violence does not discriminate; therefore, our clients are from across all demographics in terms of age, gender, race, socioeconomic status, and educational background. We assist any person who meets the criteria for emergency intervention and assistance due to domestic violence or sexual assault.

Self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s a vital part of healing. For survivors, intentional self-care can help rebuild confidence, regulate emotions, and create a sense of safety and control. Be gentle with yourself - healing has no time limit, and every small step forward is a victory. Ask yourself, “What is the most loving thing I can do for myself right now?” because you deserve compassion, peace, and moments of joy. 💜 If you need support, NWAWS is here to help - reach out to us anytime at 479-246-9999 or info@nwaws.org.
