As Social Service professionals our goal is to provide quality services daily for individuals and families who are dealing with challenging, oftentimes, traumatic situations in their lives. As a result, we rarely take the necessary time needed to intentionally focus on improving the strategies, policies, and procedures that guide the provision of these services.
In this episode of i3 you will hear from the State Director of the South Carolina Department of Social Services, Director Mike Leach, who is a driving force behind “Reimagining Social Services” by utilizing innovative approaches that can improve the quality of our work. Director Leach will discuss what drives him as a state and national innovator as he shares insight on the importance of critical thinking required to refine the work that we perform in our efforts to improve outcomes for those we serve.
