The South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) announced that Janice Mosley-Boyd, a regional clinical consultant with the Intensive Foster Care and Clinical Services (IFCCS) Region 2 division of SC DSS, has completed the Child Welfare Workforce Institute’s Leadership Academy for Supervisors (LAS). Ms. Mosley-Boyd is one of over 100 SC DSS graduates who have completed this rigorous leadership training program. Region 2 encompasses Richland, Lexington, Kershaw, Fairfield, Lancaster, Chester, Union and York Counties.

During the course, Ms. Mosley-Boyd worked with two colleagues to apply leadership skills in developing and presenting training for the DSS Child Welfare workforce that addressed child developmental milestones and their impact on child safety, well-being, and permanency. Ms. Mosley-Boyd earned a Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina.

The South Carolina Department of Social Services recognizes the vital role that supervisors play in helping staff navigate the ever-changing child welfare environment, while ensuring that children and families receive the services they need. Many supervisors who have completed this course have moved on to positions of greater responsibility within DSS.

South Carolina is one of several states utilizing this proven national leadership program to develop leadership competencies across all child welfare program areas.
