EPIC Peer Parent Support

EPIC Peer Parent Support offers a listening ear, a warm heart, and a safe, anonymous and nonjudgmental space to talk, ask, cry, laugh.

EPIC recognises parents as the first responders in their child's life, especially during times of significant challenges. Our mission is to empower parents and carers by providing a safe, non-judgmental community to connect, share experiences, and access valuable resources. Through peer-to-peer support, education, and culturally inclusive practices, EPIC helps parents build their capacity to better support their young people.

EPIC Peer support workers have lived experience of caring for a young person in crisis, and use their ability to put on their own oxygen mask as an inspiration for others. EPIC provides emotional support, information, resources, hindsight of over 380 members and hope to parents and carers who are experiencing a stressful time supporting their young person.
