SCYAP provides a variety of services to children and families throughout South Carolina. 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 face challenges every day, and many will need years of therapy in order to heal from the traumas they have suffered in their young lives. SCYAP works diligently with our children and youth to make sure they are in a safe and loving home environment, and to make sure they receive the treatments and therapies they need in order to heal and grow into their fullest potential.
