Support our work

Donate.
Help us reach
the uninsured.

Your contribution funds treatment scholarships, batterer intervention programs, and trauma informed counseling for Arkansans who could not otherwise afford care.

Why give

Your support can make a real difference. Donations to Arkansas Counseling and Wellness Services help us provide treatment scholarships for individuals seeking domestic violence intervention services, as well as mental health and substance use counseling for low-income or uninsured Arkansans who might not otherwise have access to care. These services offer the tools, accountability, and support needed to address harmful patterns, heal from trauma, and build healthier relationships and lives.

As Dr. Burton often says, “Domestic violence does not end until the batterer stops battering.” Your contribution helps make that change possible while also expanding access to vital counseling services for those who need them most. Together, we can help create safer homes, stronger communities, and real opportunities for lasting transformation.

Use the secure donation form below. The form is hosted by Cognito Forms and accepts major credit cards. If you would prefer to give by mail, send a check to Arkansas Counseling and Wellness Services, 4241 Gabel Dr., Suite 2B, Fayetteville, AR 72703.

Tax treatment

Arkansas Counseling and Wellness Services is a Professional Limited Liability Company (PLLC). At this time, contributions to the practice are not tax-deductible as charitable donations under IRC 501(c)(3). If tax deductibility is important to your gift, please consult your tax advisor or contact us about donor-advised fund options that route through partner charitable foundations. We are exploring nonprofit partner pathways for treatment scholarship contributions; contact us if you would like to be notified when those options become available.
