Where recovery becomes contribution.

TrinityCare walks alongside people affected by mental health and substance use challenges — not until they survive, but until they lead. We provide case management, housing stability, employment pathways, and the entrepreneurial tools to build a self-sufficient life.

Est. in service of dignity.
Headquartered in the Merrimack Valley.
Grounded in second chances.
§ 01 Mission & Vision

A second chance is the beginning, not the end, of someone's contribution.

i.

Mission

To walk alongside individuals affected by mental health and substance use challenges — providing case management, housing stability, employment pathways, benefits navigation, and the entrepreneurial tools to build a self-sufficient life — and to prove that recovery is not the end of contribution, but the beginning of leadership.

ii.

Vision

A community where every person in recovery is recognized not by their past, but by the quality of what they build, create, and contribute. Where second chances become the foundation of first-class citizens, business owners, and neighborhood leaders.

01

Dignity

Every person we serve is met as a whole human being, never a case number.

02

Self-sufficiency

Our work is finished when the people we serve no longer need us.

03

Enterprise

We don't only place people in jobs. We help them build their own.

04

Community

Recovery happens in relationship and in service, not in isolation.

§ 02 What We Do

Six pathways out of crisis, into independence.

01

Case Management

Personalized, recovery-oriented case planning that connects clients to clinical care, peer support, and the systems they need to stabilize and stay stabilized.

02

Housing Stability

Help locating safe, sustainable housing — and navigating leases, subsidies, and tenant rights so a roof never becomes an obstacle to recovery.

03

Employment Pathways

Job-readiness coaching, résumé development, employer matchmaking, and second-chance hiring partnerships across Massachusetts.

04

Benefits Navigation

Hands-on help applying for SNAP, MassHealth, RAFT, EAEDC, SSI/SSDI, and other supports our clients are entitled to but often can't access alone.

05

Local Resource Connection

A live network of trusted clinical, legal, food, transportation, and childcare partners — warm referrals, not phone numbers on a flyer.

06

Wellness & Recovery Support

Group programming, peer mentorship, and life-skills workshops that reinforce the work happening in clinical and residential settings.

§ 03 The Second Chance Initiative

Don't only place them in jobs. Help them build them.

Most reintegration programs end at a paycheck. Ours begins there. The Second Chance Initiative is TrinityCare's commitment to turning program participants into employees, employees into entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs into the people who hire the next cohort.

i. Pillar One

Workforce

Direct placement with Massachusetts employers who actively hire people in recovery — backed by advocacy and on-the-job support through the first twelve months.

  • Employer matchmaking
  • Soft-skills & interview coaching
  • 12-month retention support
ii. Pillar Two

Entrepreneurship

One-on-one coaching, micro-grants, and small-business set-up assistance so the people we serve can become owners — not only employees of someone else's vision.

  • LLC formation guidance
  • Bookkeeping & tax basics
  • Micro-grant launch fund
iii. Pillar Three

Innovation Workshops

Monthly cohorts on financial literacy, technology, marketing, and modern business ownership — held at our Lowell and Haverhill sites and open to every active program participant.

  • Financial literacy
  • Digital tools & AI basics
  • Marketing & brand-building
A community is judged by how it treats its second-chance neighbors.

— A guiding principle at TrinityCare

§ 04 Community Services Crew

A working answer to who we say we are.

The TrinityCare Community Crew is a pay-it-forward team of program participants and volunteers offering low-cost handyman, light construction, painting, yard work, and event-day support to neighbors, faith communities, and small businesses across the Merrimack Valley.

It is the most direct expression of what TrinityCare believes: that recovery is something people do for their community, not only something done for them.

Crew members earn real wages and build a verifiable work history. Neighbors get quality work at fair prices. And the community gets to see — first-hand, on a weekend, in their own driveway — what recovery actually looks like.
