Trinity Group Homes

Since 1979, Trinity Group Homes mission has been to provide adults that face mental health challenges safe aﬀordable housing, life-skills programming and social skill development activities.

Overview
Our eight residential facilities in Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls operate as semi-independent homes. We collaborate with case management service providers to assist with medication compliance as well as with Community Based Rehabilitative Services (CBRS) specialists, therapists, peer support specialists and medical professionals. Housing is also provided for some participants in the Kootenai County Mental Health Court after background review.

Resident Support and Training
Trinity’s staff also works 1 on 1 with residents in areas such as conflict resolution, budgeting, communication skills, boundary setting, symptom management, service navigation, etc. Our life skills program utilizes community based professionals, and St Vincent staff to present a well-rounded curriculum.

Community Impact
Our programs provide life-changing opportunities for Trinity’s residents. We receive no local, state or federal support. While strengthening our community, the residents become contributing members of society who now have life and employment skills and are able to continue to live without costs to taxpayers.

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers take residents to medical and psychiatric appointments, meet with their Fiscal agent/Payee organizations, to AA, NA and group therapy sessions, or to tasks like grocery stores and shopping. Please call to help!
