Mental Wellness Connection

Awareness. Active Living. Access to Care.

We help Arkansans access outpatient mental health care when cost, insurance, or access stand in the way — through counseling vouchers, graduate counseling interns, and a statewide network of provider partners.

Why We Exist

Too many Arkansans go without the care they need.

Financial hardship, high deductibles, limited providers, transportation barriers, and long wait lists keep people from getting help. Mental Wellness Connection brings mental healthcare within reach by building awareness, encouraging active living and community connection, and expanding access to free and low-cost outpatient mental healthcare.
