EPIC Pals Update Fall 2014

EPIC is currently implementing our third session of EPIC Pals.  The first two sessions were completed at the Division of Youth Services ECHO Community Resource Center.  For the third session, we have moved to the Division of Youth Services Girardot Center.   We are currently working with six youth participants who have been paired with shelter dogs.  This group will be graduating on November 9th and we plan to start another group at the Girardot Center in mid-November.   Please like us on facebook at Facebook.com/epicprevention for lots of pictures and updates about Pals.
