Peace at Home Family Shelter is a nonprofit organization providing shelter, services, and support to adults and children fleeing domestic violence in Northwest Arkansas. Our mission is to empower survivors to thrive by nurturing their self-determination and courage; and to promote healthy relationships and compassionate communities through education, outreach, and advocacy.
Empowering Survivors of Domestic Violence to Thrive in Northwest Arkansas
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Advocacy
All of the services provided by Peace at Home Family Shelter are LGBTQIA+ inclusive and affirming. Peace at Home recognizes that much of the anti-violence awareness movement has focused on the issues of cis-gendered, heterosexual relationships, leaving members of the LGBTQIA+ community without the support they have needed and deserved. As service providers, it is important for us to listen to the needs of community members and actively strive to make our services inclusive of all people and sensitive to the realities that they are facing.
Every day, hundreds of Arkansans reach out to domestic violence shelters like Peace at Home. The harmful effects of domestic violence are far-reaching and found in all corners of our society, regardless of age, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality.
Leaving an abusive environment can be dangerous. Survivors needing to flee an unsafe environment are aided by our shelter advocates in navigating this process and, when available, are welcomed into our safe shelter program.
Legal Services
Legal Advocates assist clients in obtaining and completing the paperwork needed for legal issues related to domestic violence, such as police reports, protective orders, immigration issues, child custody, and divorce. Legal Advocates also accompany clients to court to provide information and emotional support. Staff Attorneys provide direct representation for clients in protective orders, divorce, and custody cases.
Counseling Services
Peace at Home provides professional counseling services in English and Spanish for adult survivors of domestic violence and their children. These counseling services are focused on trauma recovery to help survivors thrive after leaving violence.
