Visit our website to learn more about mental health, build healthy coping skills, and connect to virtual therapy through the AR ConnectNow Virtual Clinic. UAMS AR ConnectNow is a comprehensive behavioral health treatment program created to provide care to all Arkansans dealing with a variety of mental-health issues, from substance abuse

disorders to mental illnesses ranging from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Arkansans struggling with mental illness but unable to find a suitable provider and resources in their community no longer have to go lacking for professional care. No referral is necessary; anyone needing help will find it only a phone call away. AR ConnectNow’s clinical team is trained to handle patients diagnosed with all forms of mental illness as well as those experiencing crisis (urgent, non-emergency) situations brought on by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, such as in health-care workers. Once screened by specially trained nurses, patients can expect to be contacted by an AR ConnectNow mental health professional within 24 business hours by phone for an intake appointment. This phone consult will include a needs assessment, behavioral health scaling measures, and virtual platform orientation. When clinical treatment is recommended, patients will be scheduled with a Mental Health Professional for a video assessment and therapy session. 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.

The virtual clinic operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. AR ConnectNow was made possible by Grant Numbers 1H79FG000240-01/678-01 from SAMHSA and DAABHS.
