EPIC Therapeutic Approach

4KIDS developed the EPIC Therapeutic Approach to uniquely teach parents, educators, and other community members how to tap into the power of trust-based relationships with kids.

“EPIC” is an acronym that makes it easy for caregivers to remember that to deepen their connection with a child or teen, they need to address their Emotional, Physical, Intellectual, and Character-based needs. Kids who have experienced any kind of abuse, neglect, or abandonment can especially benefit from having trusted adults in their life who use the EPIC Therapeutic Approach.

Working as a team with our therapist, we have helped our foster children learn new skills and meet their needs so they could form healthy, loving attachments. We know that whatever happens, they now have a strong foundation that will be theirs forever.
