FAYETTEVILLE, Arkansas (KHBS, KHOG) — Canopy NWA, a Fayetteville organization, has opened its survivor services to the community, providing case management for victims of trafficking in Northwest Arkansas.
The executive director said, “Partners both locally and nationally identified a gap for case management services here in Northwest Arkansas and found that we were uniquely suited to fill that need.”
All services remain confidential, and depending on eligibility, survivors can access employment and entrepreneurship programs, among other services, to get the help they need.
“All services will be provided confidentially in a safe, secure location. And data and information will be kept very secure. We know that this is incredibly sensitive, and we want to make sure that anyone who receives services that cannot be, is protected, respected and has the tools that they need to then start to rebuild,” the executive director said.
If you or a loved one is suspected of being trafficked, Canopy NWA encourages calling the numbers provided for assistance.
