Mental health is just as important as physical health. At the South Carolina Youth Advocate Program (SCYAP), we provide professional mental health services to help children, teens, and families facing emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges.
Our goal is simple: to offer the care, tools, and support needed to create lasting positive change.
What We Do
SCYAP offers planned, face-to-face sessions with trained and licensed mental health professionals. Each session is designed to meet the specific needs of the individual or family.
We use different therapy techniques and approaches based on the client’s diagnosis, goals, and challenges. By creating a personalized plan, we can provide the best possible care and support.
