Our Mission
Stay Positive Arkansas
The mission of the Arkansas Department of Human Services has always been to improve the quality of life of all Arkansans by protecting the vulnerable, fostering independence, and promoting better health. The disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has only strengthened our commitment to this mission and is why we’ve partnered with FEMA, SAMHSA and community behavioral health providers to create the Promoting Positive Emotions program, or PPE.
