Getting Arkansans the Mental Health Help They Need
The goal of AR ConnectNow is to help those Arkansans needing immediate care get the assistance they need and eventually connect them with treatment options and resources available in their local area. Health insurance is not required to access AR ConnectNow’s mental health professionals and patients will not be responsible for any payments outside of what is covered by their insurance plan.
If you are struggling with mental health issues like depression, anxiety and/or stress, contact the AR ConnectNow call center at 501-526-3563 or 800-482-9921. The call center is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The AR ConnectNow virtual clinic operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
