Training Resources
The South Carolina Interagency Council on Homelessness (SCICH) has partnered with the SC Department of Mental Health to host a series of trainings on best practices in homeless services. The trainings are funded through a DMH grant awarded by SAMHSA called Cooperative Agreement to Benefit Homeless Individuals.
SCICH is an interagency council and statewide network of advocates, service providers, state agencies and funders committed to ending homelessness. SCCIH has several focus areas: researching the experience of homelessness in SC, advocating for people who are homeless, responding to state and federal homelessness policy and promoting collaboration and peer support among those professionals working in the field and across the four continuums of care in the state.
SCICH works to bring training on evidence based practices to SC
