WHAT IS EPIC? The Department of Human Services, Community Based Prevention Division sponsors a Community Engagement Initiative called: EQUAL PARTNERS IN CHANGE (EPIC) COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER GROUPS. The groups conduct monthly meetings that provide both resources and relationships within the community that support elevation of the quality of life with the communities in Philadelphia and the goals of the Department of Human Services. An Equal Partners In Change (E.P.I.C.) Community Stakeholder Group is defined as individuals, organizations, institutions and/or other entities that either reside in or have a consistent presence or interest in the development and growth of the community. EPIC Stakeholders are committed to the E.P.I.C. process. Through the E.P.I.C. process, members develop strategic plans that address the challenges families encounter within the community. The issues that the strategic plans address include: low academic achievement, drugs abuse, truancy, community and domestic violence and family fragmentation. The ultimate goal of each E.P.I.C. Stakeholder group is to develop and implement a process that can create and enhance the community’s abilities to respond to the needs of children and family.
