The state of South Carolina developed the Palmetto Coordinated System of Care (PCSC) for South Carolina’s youth with significant behavioral health challenges or co-occurring conditions who are in, in or at imminent risk of, out-of-home placement. PCSC is an evidence-based approach that is part of a national movement to develop family-driven and youth-guided care and keep youth at home, in school, and out of the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
