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 behavioral health services to address them.
As a managed care organization, Trillium coordinates services for mental health, substance use, and intellectual and developmental disabilities in 26 counties in eastern North Carolina. In addition to contracted services, Trillium promotes initiatives as part of its reinvestment plan—one-time funds that Trillium can spend locally as a result of savings by managing Medicaid funding and services efficiently and locally.
National Prematurity Awareness Month
An estimated 15 million babies around the world are born premature each year and more than one million of them do not survive their early birth. Although the United States has seen sustained improvement in its preterm birth rate, it has one of the highest rates of preterm birth of any industrialized country. March of Dimes is tackling the urgent health crisis facing moms and babies in our country. Their new awareness campaign, WON'T STOP, shows the real faces and experiences of pregnancy and birth in this country.
National Family Caregivers Month
This is a time to celebrate the contribution of those volunteer friends and family members who support a loved one with their health or managing a disability. Caregiver Action Network is proud to be the organization that sets the theme for November’s National Family Caregivers Month each year. This year’s theme for National Family Caregivers Month in November 2018 is “Supercharge Your Caregiving”.
