Here at the South Carolina Department of Social Services, we are committed to setting high standards for the training of foster and adoptive parents. Our goal is to ensure that every caretaker is well-prepared to provide the nurturing and supportive environment that every child deserves. Have you ever wondered what it takes to create a safe and stable home for children in state custody? Our comprehensive training program is here to equip all prospective and existing foster, adoptive and kinship care parents with the skills, techniques, and methodologies needed to do just that. By enhancing their knowledge and confidence, we aim to help maintain the safety, stability, and overall well-being of the children of our state. Together, we're building brighter futures, one family at a time.
