SCYAP provides a variety of services to children and families throughout South Carolina, but our largest service is to provide foster homes to children who need them. We serve both males and females and we do not discriminate by race, color, religious creed, ancestry, gender, gender expression, national origin, sexual orientation, or the seriousness or complexity of disability or need. While we serve children in both regular and Therapeutic Foster Care, over 85% of our children are in Therapeutic Foster Care, which is a higher level of care. These children all have some degree of emotional or behavioral issues, most have been physically or sexually abused, and some have mental and/or physical disabilities. These youngsters all face numerous challenges every day and many face years of therapy in order to heal from the traumas they have suffered in their young lives. We work diligently with our children and youth to make sure they are in a safe and loving home environment, and also to make sure they receive the treatments and therapies they need in order to grow and develop into their fullest potential. An individualized service plan is developed for each child who comes into our care, and we work intensively with them on an ongoing basis to ensure they are thriving in their new home, school, and community.
