Empowering Parents In Crisis (EPIC)

EPIC provides peer support to parents of young people in crisis. EPIC recognises parents as first responders to their children and supports them by creating a safe, non judgemental community that empowers parents with the knowledge, skills and confidence to enable them to best support their young person, their family and themselves.

EPIC provides connection, knowledge, skills, hindsight and confidence to parents and carers of young people. EPIC collaborates with schools, police, hospitals, family support organisations and the community to demystify pathways to support and create awareness regarding young mental health.

In the past year, EPIC has connected 112 parents via peer phone support, walk/coffee events, forums, meetings, parent programs and training sessions. We provided 480 phone support calls, hosted 24 walk/coffee events and 45 meetings/forum/trainings.
