AN UPDATE FROM OUR DIRECTOR:
Just because we are one year in to our "new normal", doesn't mean families are having an easier time with it. If anything, some may be struggling more. We hear you loud and clear: some lack communication with their child's school. Some are concerned about their children's mental health, or their own. Some still don't have the supplies and support they need to do remote learning properly. Some are moving through a deep cloud of depression and anxiety and have lost the desire to advocate for themselves or their family.
EPIC is assembling focus groups of parents to learn more about what they need, so we can help. All the groups will be virtual, held in May and provide monetary incentives for participants to help them during this time of continued crisis. If you or someone you know is a parent or caregiver and interested in joining one of these groups, please click here to learn more.
As always, we are here to serve. Thank you for joining us in uniting families, schools and communities as we help raise children to become responsible and successful adults.
In gratitude,
Tara
Tara N. Burgess, Executive Director
and the entire EPIC team
