Welcome to Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina!

Located in downtown Charleston, Florence Crittenton Programs has been serving the entire state of South Carolina for 113 years. We provide education, counseling services, medical care, social support, and a safe haven for young pregnant and parenting mothers in need. After completing our program, our clients have the skills to become responsible parents and members of the community. We all benefit as they become self-sufficient, responsible mothers, and their babies grow up happy, healthy, loved, and safe.

Our Mission

To foster the development of healthy babies and strong, competent parents.

Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina values the right of every child to have a healthy start in life, and the right of every pregnant young woman to obtain the education, skills, and support needed to become self-sufficient.

“When the lights go out and silence wraps itself tightly around you, the fear of breathing will disappear. You are safe and the walls are welcoming. The ceiling, visible in the moonlight, is autographed by the moms-to-be before you. Welcome to Florence Crittenton. You are now in the arms of the Angel.” -PBSmith
