Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the South Carolina Department of Mental Health. Our mission is to support the recovery of people with mental illnesses. Through a statewide network of community mental health centers, clinics, and hospitals, our clinical staff provide a broad array of mental health services for children, adults, and families throughout South Carolina. We believe that with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible.
Each year, SCDMH serves approximately 100,000 patients, about 30,000 of whom are children. As South Carolina’s public mental health system, SCDMH provides outpatient mental health care through a network of 16 community mental health centers and associated clinics serving all 46 counties and inpatient treatment in three state hospitals, one of which is dedicated to substance use disorder treatment.
