Monthly Awareness
Trillium Health Resources recognizes monthly awareness events sponsored by local or national organizations and agencies. By helping to publicize these events, we bring attention to these causes to help reduce stigma and share the need for the proper services to address them.
As a managed care organization, Trillium coordinates services for serious mental health, substance use, and intellectual and developmental disabilities in 46 counties in North Carolina. We work within our local communities to help everyone reach their fullest potential by also, promoting programs, initiatives, and supports outside of contracted services.
December Awareness
Trillium is actively engaged in these efforts to raise awareness and reduce stigma. We have historically taken steps to assist marginalized communities including those who identify as LGBTQ. According to NCDHHS, marginalized populations include those who have “historically and systematically been denied access to services, resources and power relationships, which has resulted in poor outcomes across the spectrum.” It can affect people of different cultures, those experiencing substance use disorder, immigrant populations, and more.
Trillium’s OUTreach program strives to inform about the stigmas and health disparities experienced by LGBTQ youth.
