Charleston, SC, October 30, 2026 — A new initiative has been implemented at the Charleston County Department of Social Services (DSS) office, with the recent opening of six dedicated trauma-informed spaces. These spaces are designed to provide a supportive environment for individuals interacting with the agency.

Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery. It emphasizes physical, psychological, and emotional safety for both service providers and survivors, and creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild trust, exercise choice, and experience empowerment. While the specific protocols and operational details of these new spaces at the Charleston County DSS office have not been publicly detailed, their establishment signifies a commitment to integrating these principles into the agency’s services.
Further information regarding the implementation, intended benefits, and operational hours of these six trauma-informed spaces at the Charleston County DSS office is expected to be released.
