About
Southern Christian Services for Children and Youth is a 501(c)(3) faith-based child welfare agency dedicated to providing housing, behavioral healthcare, and permanent placement programs for vulnerable children across Mississippi. To secure stable homes, the agency recruits and trains therapeutic foster parents while facilitating permanent adoptions and providing ongoing post-adoption support. They operate structured group homes and residential facilities that deliver continuous supervision and individualized mental healthcare for children and teens. The organization also helps older youth aging out of foster care transition into adulthood through independent housing, life skills training, and employment preparation. Additionally, SCSCY delivers community-based counseling, crisis intervention, and wraparound behavioral health resources directly to families in their homes and schools.
