Let's Talk About the Department of Social Services with Jocelyn and Ryan
On this episode, Ryan is joined by Jocelyn Gibson, the Placement Services Director at SC Department of Social Services.
In the discussion of the experience of homelessness with children, it is important to understand the role of SCDSS. DSS offers many resources, in conjunction with Foster Care, that work towards reunification and stability within a family of origin, whenever possible.
SCDSS's Placement Services is often what people initially think of when they consider DSS. However, there are many other avenues through which the Department of Social Services offers assistance, including adult protection, prevention, child care services, and family support services.
Miracle Hill Ministries is thankful for the partnership we share with SCDSS. If you'd like to know more about SCDSS, visit their website here.
To report suspected child abuse or neglect, contact the SCDSS 24-hour, toll-free hotline at 1-888-CARE4US.
