In 1995, concerned community leaders met to address the increased teen pregnancy, school dropout, and juvenile justice crime rates for Lee County children. They chose a proven national program to help battle the issues.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America began working with them to develop a local organization. In 1995, St. Clair Elementary School was designated as the first site for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County and the Club received a Charter in December for 124 members. In 1997, the Club moved from St. Clair Elementary School to Jonesboro Elementary. During that time, the Board of Directors decided to construct a stand-alone facility. In 1999, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sanford/Lee County opened a 17,000 square foot Club at 1414 Bragg Street: the O.T. Sloan Park Boys & Girls Club.

As a Veteran owned, inclusive, & trauma informed yoga studio, we tend to do things a little different. As we process trauma through the mind, we have to process it through the body. Whether we've been in a vehicle accident, lost a loved one, or anything in between, our body keeps the score. Our nervous system is wired like branches of tree. And when we experience a traumatic event, those branches get pruned. But those branches can regrow, and that's what we focus on at Sanford Yoga & Community Center (SYCC).

By using these evidence-based modalities that have been thoroughly tested and peer reviewed, we offer self-regulation techniques that use the body and the breath as the vehicle to facilitate healing. This then leads to a sense of relaxation, calmness, greater mobility, and an overall improvement in ones quality of life.

With a diverse staff, we tailor our offerings to kids, adults, Service Members, Veterans, Law Enforcement Officers, First Responders, the LGBTQ Community, Justice Involved, students, teachers, sexual assault/domestic violence survivors, pre/post-surgery candidates, amputees, athletes and much more.

Each population has a unique need. Some need a more dynamic practice, and others more restorative. No matter what the group needs, our objective is always to help regrow those neural pathways, allowing our clients to gain more autonomy over their minds and bodies.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to serve you and we can't wait to learn more about how we can help.

His responsibilities may vary from state to state but, generally, he is an active participant in all three branches of the criminal justice system:

At the end of 2023, Sandhills Center completed its consolidation with Eastpointe Human Services. On Feb. 1, 2024, the combined entity of Sandhills Center and Eastpointe joined Trillium Health Resources. Read the final Consolidation Plan.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

If you received services from Sandhills Center and you live in Anson, Guilford, Hoke, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph or Richmond County, you are now served by Trillium.

As of Feb. 1, 2024, people living in three counties previously served by Sandhills Center are now in the care of other Local Management Entities/Managed Care Organizations (LME/MCOs) serving North Carolina:

TRILLIUM WELCOMES YOU

As part of Trillium Health Resources, we are proud to continue managed care services to North Carolina's NC Medicaid Direct population. Trillium now serves 46 counties in the combined region. The consolidation prioritizes doing what is best for members and providers, focuses on whole-person care, and promotes continued investment in the communities we serve.

Our primary focus is making sure our members have the highest quality care, delivered in the right amount at the right time. We will protect care continuity by honoring all provider contracts (for those in good standing and serving members in affected counties). It is important that members remain with their current provider or care manager.

Trillium is building a unified team with existing Sandhills Center and Eastpointe staff that places tremendous value on both institutional knowledge and local relationships. We are excited about the consolidation and all the opportunities it will present.

We look forward to listening to people who live in the former Sandhills Center region, interacting with the agencies that serve them, and helping them reach their fullest potential. Our regional advisory boards will continue to represent all 46 counties, and we will still operate our local office sites.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) sent notices to all transitioning members in early 2024. Soon after, members should have received welcome packets from Trillium. You will get a new Medicaid ID card in February; until then, you can continue using your existing card.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

Trillium has virtual office hours for members and providers to talk directly with us. You can find a schedule for these sessions by visiting the consolidation web page.

FOR MEDICAID MEMBERS AND RECIPIENTS OF STATE-FUNDED SERVICES

Your welcome packet is a valuable source for information. By visiting the Trillium Health Resources website, you can learn more about your benefits and services.

You can speak to someone directly by calling Trillium Member & Recipient Services at 1-877-685-2415, (TTY 711). Trillium's Behavioral Health Crisis Line is 1-888-302-0738.
