The National Advisory Committee on Rural Health and Human Services U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Home Background Chair Members ... Links David Muldrow Beasley David Muldrow Beasley served as Governor of South Carolina from 1995 to 1999, ushering in an era of unprecedented economic growth and a transformation of South Carolina government. As Governor, David Beasley made "Putting Families First" the theme of his administration, then immediately set out on an ambitious agenda that would focus on tax cuts, crime fighting, welfare reform and economic development. The results were dramatic: record-breaking capital investment, welfare caseloads cut in half, new technology and investments in the classroom, and tougher criminal sentencing. In an effort to shrink government and return power to the taxpayers, Beasley worked closely with the South Carolina General Assembly to cut over a billion dollars in taxes. The lion's share was designated for property tax relief, and now the average homeowner in South Carolina pays no school operating taxes. Beasley also campaigned in 1994 on the need to reform the decaying welfare system, and the next year the Family Independence Act became law. The law now places time limits on benefits, stops paying children to have children and makes job training mandatory. Even more critical, the entire mission of the Department of Social Services has been transformed from check-cutting to job placement, and caseloads continue to drop dramatically in all 46 counties and as much as 75% statewide for all able-bodied adults that were on welfare.

PROGRESSIVE NETWORK CALENDAR Greenville Charleston Columbia Hilton Head STATEWIDE Threat to SC's poor Under the direction of Governor Mark Sanford, South Carolina's Medicaid agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, has requested a waiver from the Federal government to allow it to significantly change the way medical services are delivered to the poor in our state. The goal is to reduce medical costs, but the reduction (if there is one) is to be borne by the neediest families among us. Future generations will be affected by reduced medical care for low-income pregnant women and children now. The SC waiver proposal is the most extreme in the country. We can improve and protect the Medicaid system without such radicalism. Send a message to Gov. Sanford:

Alumni Directory The University of South Carolina, Department of Psychology, School Psychology Program is considered one of the premier doctoral programs in the United States. It has been ranked third nationally in U.S. News and World Report magazine rankings of graduate programs. Faculty productivity has been in the top five nationally for over thirty years ( Skrutski and Williams, 2001 ). Faculty research interests are described on the "School Faculty" page of the Department's website.

The program is built on a "scientist-practitioner" model, which provides the framework for training in basic science and its application to real-world problems. Scientific and professional course work are viewed as interactive and complementary in developing a knowledge base in the theory and practice of school psychology. The integration of the scientific and professional model of training is reflected in the sequence of required course work, which involves basic psychology courses and professional courses in school psychology. Students receive extensive applied training in psychoeducational assessment and remediation, personality evaluation, consultation, organization development, and behavioral management. Opportunities are also available for supervised training in individual and family therapy. Most core professional courses involve a fieldwork component.

For Grandparents and Special Others Raising Children South Carolina Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children A State Fact Sheet August 2002 Across the country, more than six million children approximately 1 in 12 children are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. South Carolina has more than 113,000 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. In many of these households, grandparents and other relatives are the primary caregivers (“kinship caregivers”) for children whose parents cannot or will not care for them due to substance abuse, illness and death, abuse and neglect, economic hardship, incarceration, divorce, domestic violence, and other family and community crises. In response to the growing numbers of these kinship care families, state legislatures, public and private agencies, and grassroots coalitions in South Carolina and across the country have begun to expand services and supports for children living with kin inside and outside of the foster care system. A Look at the Numbers: Kinship Care in South Carolina The data below show the numbers of grandparents who are living in households with at least one grandchild under the age of 18, as well as the numbers of grandparents who are the primary caregivers for these grandchildren. These numbers were reported by the 2000 U.S. Census and are available for every place (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) in the country, including cities, towns, villages, and boroughs, on the U.S. Census website.

In more than 30 years of service to South Carolina's low-income populations, EFNEP has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians. This page contains some of EFNEP's many success stories. EFNEP Celebrates its 35th Anniversary In 2004, the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in South Carolina celebrated its 35th Anniversary. Since it was launched in 1968, EFNEP has delivered a high quality nutrition education program benefiting over 25 million low-income individuals in all 50 States and the U.S. territories. Today, it serves more than half a million adults and youth nationwide, helping them acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavioral changes necessary for healthy diets and nutritional well-being. "EFNEP is one of the most successful programs of the Cooperative Extension Service. Each year, more than 4,000 families and 8,000 youth participate in EFNEP nutrition activities that increase their knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behavior toward their nutritional needs. EFNEP participants learn to make informed choices about low-cost, nutritious foods; to better manage family finances; and to become more self-sufficient. Through an experiential learning process, EFNEP adult program participants learn how to make good choices to improve the nutritional quality of the meals they serve their families. They participate in a series of at least twelve lessons based on the Food Guide Pyramid and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The hands-on, learn-by-doing approach allows the participants to gain the practical skills necessary to make positive behavior changes. They increase their ability to select and buy food that meets the nutritional needs of their families and they gain new skills in food preparation, storage, safety, and sanitation. They also learn to better manage food budgets, including the use of Food Stamps and WIC coupons.
