Care Coordination
What Is Care Coordination?
At Triangle Community Center, Care Coordination is here for LGBTQIA+ individuals and families of all ages - whether you’re navigating a major life transition, looking for affirming resources, or just need help getting started. Our Care Coordinators offer one-on-one support to help you access the services and solutions that matter most to you.
Whether you're a young adult exploring identity, a parent advocating for your child, or an older adult seeking connection or care, our team provides affirming, compassionate guidance every step of the way. We work with you to identify goals, reduce barriers, and connect you to community-based supports in a way that honors your lived experience.
