While both services help participants connect with supports and work towards their goals, Specialist Support Coordination provides a higher level of assistance for people with more complex circumstances.

At Sage, we take the time to understand your situation and provide the level of support that best meets your needs and goals.
If you are unsure which service is included in your plan or would like to discuss your options, our team would be happy to help.
