The South Carolina Department of Mental Health will launch YouthNet, a comprehensive system of care to capture and address the needs of seriously emotionally disturbed children and their families in three counties, Chester, Lancaster and York. YouthNet seeks to develop a broader array of services in its target area, and to integrate these services into a more effective system of care. Lancaster County has the 5th highest rate of child abuse and neglect in our state followed closely by Chester County. All three counties were ranked third highest in the state in the number of people ages 12 and older in need of alcohol or other drug treatment. Catawba Community Mental Health Center has the highest rate in South Carolina of out-of- home placements for child and adolescents with emotional disorders. While faced with significant challenges, these three counties have a strong history of working collaboratively to benefit the population. YouthNet will be created through each county with a local Community Resource Team (CRT) that will have wide representation from a variety of groups including family members and youth. Intensive Family Preservation Services will be developed for 240 families with children under the age of six. There are currently no such programs for families with young children with emotional problems in the state. Multisystemic Therapy, an evidenced-based practice, will be expanded for at least 50 families. Community-based treatment with an emphasis on wrap services will be greatly expanded. A Transition Facilitator will address needs of young adults. Mental health workers will be out-stationed in local schools, public welfare offices, a domestic violence shelter, and with the Catawba Indian Nation. Two Youth Coordinators will increase youth involvement in planning and implementation of appropriate services. An aggressive social marketing program will strengthen outreach and cross agency efforts.
