Meredith Barnes Cain

Regional Office and Programs Supervisor

Meredith Barnes Cain serves as the Regional Office & Programs Supervisor for The Ship Group Behavioral Health & Community Services (TSGBH), providing leadership for TSGBH’s presence and growth across Southeastern North Carolina. She supports the daily operations of the regional office while helping expand TSGBH’s programs through strong community visibility, reliable coordination, and trusted local partnerships. Meredith serves as a key point of contact for referral sources and community stakeholders, ensuring the region stays aligned with TSGBH standards and workflows while building the external relationships that strengthen access to care and increase service reach in rural communities.

Meredith is well-qualified for this role through a combination of professional operations experience and community-facing work that requires organization, accountability, and strong communication. Her background in the financial services industry sharpened her skills in process management, client service, accuracy, and high-responsibility administrative work—skills that translate directly into managing a regional office and supporting program operations. At TSGBH, she applies that experience to keep office functions running smoothly, support staff coordination, and maintain responsive communication with agency leadership. She also leads outreach and relationship-building efforts with local organizations and systems partners, helping TSGBH grow in the region while maintaining a professional, welcoming, and mission-driven regional presence.
