Having a baby is one of life's greatest moments, and every parent dreams of having a happy, healthy one. So when a child with disabilities or special needs enters a family, at birth or diagnosis, it is rarely what the parents expected. Treasures are found in the unexpected, however, just as all children are a gift, Family Connection of South Carolina helps families recognize and celebrate the potential of that gift. Family Connection is a support network for families who have children with special needs. Founded in 1990, we're here to help thousands of children in South Carolina reach their potential by providing parent-to-parent connections, linking families to community resources, and sponsoring a number of educational and support programs. Our programs and services are centered around parent-to-parent networking, a program based in the principal that families with shared experiences are uniquely qualified to help each other. We match parents of children with disabilities with Support Parents who have children with similar conditions. These trained veteran Support Parents are an invaluable source of support and encouragement because they have faced similar challenges and celebrations. Family Connection of South Carolina is part of a worldwide network of parent-to-parent support programs and is financed through grants, donations and contracts with many private and governmental organizations. Today, there are Family Connection offices in Columbia, Greenville, Greenwood, Anderson, Spartanburg, Aiken, Charleston, and Florence, with Support Parents in all counties of South Carolina.

South Carolina BACKGROUND Legislation First Steps Legislation Governance State level: South Carolina has regionalized its fiscal reporting into 9 regions with 3-8 counties in a region, depending on their First Steps allocation and their population. Legislation limits each county partnership to 8% administrative spending. This regional system pools a portion of these funds from each county and uses those funds to buy fiscal management services from various accounting firms. Partnerships are provided with computer hardware and software and training so they can enter their fiscal data into one system. Composition, functions and duties of the Board of Trustees Local Level: Goals The following Goals for First Steps were established in the enabling legislation: provide parents with access to the support they might seek and want to strengthen their families and to promote the optimal development of their preschool children; increase comprehensive services so children have reduced risk for major physical, developmental and learning problems;

The Bridge Day Treatment Detoxification Services Drug Courts ... Specialized Services for Women and Children The Bridge This specialized transitional program provides intensive case management services for adolescents who are preparing to leave alcohol and other drug inpatient treatment facilities, juvenile justice facilities or other residential settings and return home to their families and communities. By providing a gradual "step down" transition from an institutional setting and into the community, the program works with both adolescents and their families to increase their chances of a successful return home and reduce their risk of recidivism. The program is available in four locations of the state through the Dawn Center (the designated county authority serving Orangeburg, Bamberg and Calhoun counties), the (the county authority serving Berkeley County), LRADAC, The Behavioral Health Center of the Midlands (the county authority serving Lexington and Richland counties); and the Spartanburg Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission The Bridge began accepting clients on May 1, 1994. Since then, it has been successful in reducing recidivism and alcohol and other drug use among the target population; improving life skills by working with the adolescents to stay in school, get jobs, participate in GED programs and move on to college; and improving family functioning by involving them in family-strengthening activities. In its short history, The Bridge has been recognized for its achievements twice by national authorities. In 1996, the program was recognized by the American Probation and Parole Association for its innovative approach to working with juvenile offenders. More recently, The Bridge was selected by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the U.S. Department of Justice as one of three promising approaches in the nation for treating substance-abusing juveniles and was featured on a national video teleconference that aired in December 1997.

Forum on State Health Policy Leadership var doctitle=document.title document.write(doctitle) Add to My NCSL SOUTH CAROLINA Long-term care actions in South Carolina included gubernatorial and legislative recommendations for reorganizing state human services agencies and legislative measures that affect nursing homes and other community providers. Another long-term care activity involved using federal grant money to develop a program to move some nursing home residents to the community. The Budget Due to the state's fiscal problems, the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services notified Medicaid providers that as of January 1, 2003, the department would implement Medicaid service rate and program reductions. The State Budget and Control Board had imposed 5 percent reductions in the FY 2003 budget on all state agencies. On December 13, 2002, in-coming Governor Mark Sanford appointed a 21-member task force to identify reform initiatives to improve the operation of state and local government in South Carolina. The task force report, issued on January 21, 2003, included a recommendation for making three health and human services agencies into cabinet agencies. The three are the Department of Health and Environmental Control, the Department of Mental Health and the Department of Disabilities and Special Needs. The Legislative Audit Council also released a report in January 2003 on all eight of the state's health and human services agencies. The report recommended that the General Assembly authorize a single cabinet secretary appointed by the governor to oversee all health and human services agencies. The report noted that senior and long-term care programs currently were housed in the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Social Services, and the Department of Mental Health. The council proposed placing all these programs in a newly created, freestanding agency specializing in senior and long-term care programs and services.

Prevention Partners Well Child Care Benefit What Is Well Child Care? The State Health Plan will provide coverage for routine checkups and immunizations for children through age 12. Well Child Care benefits are designed to promote good health and aid in the early detection and prevention of illness among our children. Who Is Eligible? Covered dependent children from birth through age 12 are eligible for the Well Child Care benefit. How Does It Work? This benefit covers both regular doctor visits and timely immunizations. When services are received from a doctor in the State Health Plan Physician Network, benefits will be paid at 100 percent, without any deductible or coinsurance. Benefits will not be paid for services obtained from non-Network providers. Some services are not be considered part of the well child visit. For example, if during a well child visit, a fever and sore throat are discovered, the lab work performed to verify the diagnosis would not be part of the routine visit. These charges would be subject to deductible and coinsurance as with any other medical expense.
