Service Description
Northwest Arkansas Equality is a nonprofit organization providing programming, education, and advocacy to serve, connect, and empower the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community. We provide free HIV/STI testing services, various support groups, resources, and social and community outreach events. Each summer, we produce Northwest Arkansas Pride, the state’s largest LGBTQ celebration! Our Support Services program is designed to provide LGBTQ adult and youth individuals, families, and friends with education, resources, and a safe and structured space to support and encourage one another in healing, wellness, and growth. All support groups are currently offline due to COVID-19. We hope to bring in-person meetings back online in the fall of 2022. All peer support group facilitators are trained by a licensed mental health professional and place high importance on members’ safety and confidentiality.
