Monarch is a nonprofit organization that supports thousands of people in North Carolina with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness, and substance use disorders.

The agency provides services and supports to people of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds. We do not make decisions for the people we support. Monarch professionals, like our behavioral health services counselors and direct support professionals, will work with individuals to discover their interests and help them to identify their place in the community where they live.

Dr. Peggy S. TerhuneExecutive Director/CEO

“Dream big, and we’ll help you accomplish your goals.” Such is the mission of a local group dedicated to helping individuals ages 18 and above with Intellectual Development Disorder, or IDD. Bladen Opportunities recognizes that all people, including those with IDD, have dreams, and they seek to help those dreams come true for the twenty-six individuals they serve.
