Trillium Health Resources Awards School-Based Therapy Contracts

Providers will serve children living in Moore, Randolph, and Robeson counties

GREENVILLE, N.C. – Trillium Health Resources awarded contracts to two providers to offer school-based therapy services. Pinnacle Family Services will operate in schools located in Moore and Randolph counties, and Southeastern Integrated Care, LLC will serve Robeson County.

Providers were selected after a Request for Proposal (RFP) selection process. Applicants were expected to serve individuals in Medicaid, have experience providing clinical outpatient behavioral health services to children and adolescents, and ability to work closely with the Local Education Agency (LEA).

“The schools are our partners in reaching families to improve access to mental health care for children,” stated Cecelia Peers, Regional Vice President. “Maintaining school-based therapy is one way for us to accomplish our shared mission that students receive the support they need in a safe and convenient location.”

Trillium will follow up with the selected providers to ensure goals, objectives, and other progress metrics are met. Trillium has worked with 21 total providers in all 46 counties to help coordinate school-based therapy services to help improve access to care for children and youth.
