Child advocacy & safety centers
The teams who interview, protect, and support children in crisis.
Partners
It takes a community
No single organization can meet every need a child carries. Heartstrings works alongside the people and organizations already caring for children across Northwest Arkansas, so a child finds the right help, not just ours.
Who we work alongside
We partner with, and refer to, organizations like these:
Schools & counselors
Educators and school counselors who know which children need a safe place to land.
Foster & court-advocate networks
Caseworkers, foster families, and Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), also known as guardians ad litem, walking with children in the system.
Grief & community support
Counselors and community groups helping children through loss and hardship.
The people who make it possible
A partner is not only a referral source. A program that stays free for every child depends on more than one kind of help:
Financial supporters
Donors, funders, and grant-makers who keep every program free for the families we serve.
Civic and municipal partners
The city offices and civic leaders who help a community project like this one find a home.
Volunteers & mentors
The adults who show up week after week to teach, mentor, and sit alongside a child.
The arts community
Musicians, artists, teachers, and arts organizations who share their craft with children who would not otherwise meet it.
