Message from Arkansas PTAC Program Director Melanie Berman:
The COVID-19 virus remains visible in our personal and professional lives. The Arkansas PTAC staff have returned to all three office locations in Little Rock, Bentonville, and Newport. We are open for business, but we are continuing to implement some risk reduction procedures that may impact the way that we interact with our clients. We continue to follow the CDC guidelines, recommending mask wearing indoors for anyone not fully vaccinated. If you do not arrive to your appointment with a mask, we may provide one to you upon request. If you would like to meet with a counselor in-person we ask you to make an appointment, this will give us time to reserve a space large enough to also allow for social distancing. All of our counselors provide virtual appointments as well. We will continue to offer a blend of virtual, in-person and hybrid trainings at various locations across the state throughout our program year. Thank you for your patience and support.
