Trillium Health Resources outlines tailored plan enrollment and local initiatives to Scotland County commissioners
Summary
Trillium Health Resources presented an annual update to Scotland County commissioners, reported tailored-plan enrollment and service statistics, and said a Monarch-staffed mobile crisis team is being staffed for local response; Trillium also announced an inclusive-playground grant for the county.
Trillium Health Resources told Scotland County commissioners June 2 that since launching its "tailored plan" in July 2024 it had served about 80,000 unique individuals across its catchment area and served approximately 1,200 members in Scotland County during the plan’s first six months.
Cecilia Pierce, Southern Regional Vice President for Trillium, said the tailored plan combines behavioral and physical health benefits for members with significant needs. Pierce said about 63% of members served had mental-health needs, 17% had substance-use needs and 20% had intellectual or developmental disabilities. In Scotland County specifically, Trillium served roughly 875 people for mental-health services, 296 for substance-use services and 212 for intellectual and developmental disabilities between July 1 and Dec. 1, 2024; the county value of services in that period was described as approximately $11.5 million.
Pierce also described local initiatives: an expansion of ChildFirst (a home- and community-based early-childhood intervention for ages 0–5), a partnership for a CHES Health app for people in recovery, and trainings such as Crisis Intervention Team training for law enforcement and Mental Health First Aid for community groups.
Commissioners asked about mobile crisis response in Scotland County. Pierce said the mobile crisis team is staffed by Monarch Health Services; the team will respond to behavioral-health crises and aims to connect people to care within a two-hour window. Pierce said staffing was still ramping up and that Trillium would follow up with data on response volumes and outcomes.
Trillium announced a "Let's Play Together" inclusive-playground grant for Scotland County and said a large ribbon-cutting is expected in early 2026. Trillium representatives offered contact numbers for crisis lines and access to care lines for residents in need of behavioral-health services.
"We have local governance and staff in the communities working with our members," Pierce said, describing local partnerships and advisory boards used to guide service delivery.
