🎵 Live Music
Sophisticated jazz creating an electric atmosphere that celebrates vibrant lives and melodies.
🎨 Interactive Art & Design
Each space tells a visual story of transformation—from the "Finding Refuge" experience to the "Sweet Success" celebration area.
🎁 Silent Auction
Unique experiences and items worth bidding on, with all proceeds supporting life-changing mental health treatment.
💙 Meaningful Mission
All while supporting evidence-based, trauma-informed care that transforms young lives.
💬 WHY "SPEAKEASY"?
Teen mental health has reached crisis levels. Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents. But when we speak easy—openly, without stigma—healing begins.
For 60 years, Youth Home has been Arkansas's trusted partner in providing refuge for troubled youth. Our 52-acre natural campus offers evidence-based residential treatment for adolescents facing severe psychiatric conditions and behavioral health disorders.
SpeakEasy celebrates our legacy while funding the next generation of life-changing care.
🎟️ TICKETS & TABLES:Individual tickets and tables available starting March 2026.
