EPIC Therapeutic Approach

4KIDS developed the EPIC Therapeutic Approach to equip parents, educators, and community members with practical tools to foster healing through trust-based relationships with children and teens.

EPIC is a simple framework that reminds caregivers that meaningful connection and long-term growth happen when a child’s Holistic needs are addressed—Emotionally, Physically, Academically, and through Life-giving relationships and character development.

Children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment are especially impacted by safe, consistent adults who lead with understanding, empathy, and intentional care. The EPIC Therapeutic Approach helps caregivers become those trusted, healing influences.
