What is SC Hopes? The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH), in partnership with the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS), offers a statewide support line for individuals whose mental health has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Callers are connected to SCDMH Staff who can provide support for mental health and/or substance use issues and information about other resources that may help. The toll-free support line is available to all South Carolinians 24/7 at 1 (844) SC-HOPES (724-6737) and 1 (833) TU‐APOYO (882‐7696) (en Español). Additionally, VP 803-339-3339 is available for those who are deaf and hard of hearing.

South Carolina educators are also invited to participate in free weekly virtual support groups. The confidential sessions are an opportunity for participants to take a moment for themselves to discuss their struggles, explore coping strategies, and share resources. Self-care is important. Learn more about the groups here.

Support Group Schedule starting: September 7
