Effective Planning &
Innovative Communication
EPIC 'Ohana works to strengthen families involved with CWS and enhance the welfare of children and youth through transformative processes that are respectful, collaborative, and solution-oriented.
Navigating Waters Together
Every voyage needs navigators. At EPIC ʻOhana, we help families and young people involved in Child Welfare Services to chart their own course and find direction in their journey. EPIC believes in moving forward together, guided by our mission, vision, values, and a history of deep pilina with our partners and communities.
About Us
New Patterns & Lasting Impressions
Like kapa tools that transform bark into cloth, our programs and services transform the way families interact with Systems. Guidance, support, and honoring voice & choice— these are just some of the tools families can utilize to create self-efficacy and lasting impressions.
Community Resources during Federal Government Shutdown 2025
EPIC ʻOhana is doing what it can to support families impacted by the Federal Shutdown and the halt on SNAP benefits. We are collecting important resources as they become available. We send our aloha to all who are impacted.
That Carry Us Forward
The moʻolelo, or stories, of our families and young people serve as the strong knots that connect our net of resilience and hope..
