Making Connections, Delivering Results
The Palmetto Association for Children and Families seeks to advance the interests and priorities of its membership, while also addressing policy and legislative issues impacting children and families. Our members’ priorities are shared with the South Carolina General Assembly, other non-profit and thought leaders, government agencies, and stakeholders who are working in the field of child and family services.
and Advocacy
that Works
PAFCAF promotes innovations and solutions for our membership, as we seek to assure that government agencies and lawmakers create policies or legislative mandates that do not adversely impact how services must be delivered. We act as a unified voice for children and families, while we seek to achieve a common sense regulatory and compliance framework for contracted providers.
Worth the Ticket
We provide our members weekly newsletter updates regarding the very latest in state and federal policy guidance. Our staff attends policy meetings with partnering agencies and shares information with the membership. Pertinent court hearings are attended, with updates sent to members. PAFCAF has five standing committees of the Board of Directors to maintain alignment with Board priorities and the Strategic Plan.
The Reason.
Every day in South Carolina, several thousand children are living outside their family homes because of abuse, neglect, abandonment and other situations. We provide leadership to ensure quality in care in service areas such as residential group care services, foster care, therapeutic foster care, prevention services, behavioral health services, psychiatric treatment, and community-based and rehabilitative services.
