Trillium Health Resources presented its annual program update for Richmond County, outlining services delivered and funding invested in local behavioral health, substance use, and intellectual/developmental disability care. In FY July 2024–June 2025, Trillium reports serving 2,784 Richmond County individuals with severe behavioral needs, with $34,705,053 invested in local services, and operating multiple regional collaboratives such as the Drug Endangered Families Taskforce and the Richmond Community Crisis Collaborative. For FY 2025–26, Trillium is providing $132,525 in Maintenance of Effort funding to Richmond County, with $15,600 designated for telehealth assessments in detention and $116,925 for local DSS supports, and has requested continuation of the same amount for FY 2026–27 with openness to adjust designations in consultation with county leadership.This signals ongoing, sizeable behavioral health spending in the county and a specific telehealth‑in‑detention initiative that may need technology, clinical staffing, and integration support—offering a foothold for vendors experienced in jail-based telehealth, crisis services, or behavioral health data and coordination tools.

Telehealth assessments in detention are currently contracted with MOE dollars; Trillium is open to revisiting allocations with county leadership for 2026–27, which could reshape vendor involvement.
