Committees

Working Together is Essential

Our communities are only as strong as our people. When we support well-being, we make sure that everyone can reach their potential and fully contribute to our communities. We collaborate with our provider network, the people we serve, and local agencies to use our experiences to improve services and strengthen community connections.

Trillium manages committees to help direct some of the work we do. They help make sure member and recipient rights are protected, review potential new services, and provide feedback that can be shared with NC Medicaid and Trillium. 

Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) 

The Clinical Advisory Committee (CAC) has participants from our provider network, members, and family members, and Trillium staff. Meetings are held every other month and give participants the chance to discuss the treatment practices used by network providers. CAC represents the interests and challenges of people receiving services by identifying standards, key indicators, initiatives, and requirements.

Human Rights Committee (HRC)

The Trillium Human Rights Committee (HRC) protects member and recipient rights for people receiving mental health, substance use, and intellectual/developmental disability (I/DD) services. The Trillium HRC works cooperatively with members, their family members, and Trillium staff to ensure the nature and quality of services are always respectful of the member’s rights. 

The committee makes sure Trillium and providers are protecting members’ and recipients’ rights, following confidentiality laws, and have processes for tracking grievances. They also review concerns about restrictive treatment and ensures that everyone can get the services they need.  

The HRC is made up of volunteers from mental health, substance use and I/DD providers, professionals, and members. Trillium staff help the committee but do not vote. Participants who serve on the HRC must follow rules as written in State laws and rules and the HRC Bylaws. Participants must follow member privacy and HIPAA laws and attend all meetings.

To be eligible to serve, members must:
