About Us
Families in Transition is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has been providing shelter, safety and assistance to survivors of interpersonal violence and their dependent children since 1993. We primarily serve victims in Crittenden County and have recently expanded our services into Cross, St. Francis, Lee, Phillips and Monroe Counties to provide greater outreach to victims of Human Trafficking. We are members of the Arkansas Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, therefore, we follow their standards of client services and operate under the model to EMPOWER the clients we serve.
We believe that:
- Everyone, regardless of age, race, gender, class, religion or sexual orientation must be allowed to live their lives without fear or violence.
- The cycle of violence and abuse can be broken.
- A comprehensive community response to interpersonal violence through education, advocacy and appropriate intervention is necessary to bring about change and end the violence.
- Battering stops when assailants are held accountable for their abuse.
- To make informed decisions for themselves and their children, survivors need access to safety and information about the interpersonal violence, available options and community resources.
Families in Transition is committed to treating survivors with dignity and respect and to providing them the support and advocacy necessary to realize their right to live independently in a violence - free environment.
