The EPIC team, along with players, vendors, and spectators, had a wonderful time at the 4th Annual Tonya Kuc Foundation for Su***de Prevention Kickball Tournament on Saturday! Our team enjoyed playing two games while raising money forsu***de prevention.
The Tonya Kuc Foundation is dedicated to promoting su***de prevention and awareness. In July 2021, Tonya, who was a beloved wife, mother, and friend, tragically took her own life. Her friends and family remember her for her bright smile, infectious laughter, and love for life.
The foundation utilizes the funds raised to support su***de prevention efforts, aiming to prevent this tragedy from impacting others.

"Many high school seniors across the country are in the throes of college applications – often a high-stakes, anxiety-ridden process.
But the stress doesn’t necessarily stop once students are admitted.
Emotional stress, mental health and tuition cost are the top three reasons that college students drop out, according to a 2023 Gallup poll of 14,032 students.
By most standards, there is a mental health crisis among college students. But the University of Michigan’s healthy minds survey, the country’s largest student mental health study to date, recently found that college students are reporting lower rates of depressive symptoms, anxiety and suicidal thoughts for the third year in a row."
At EPIC Behavioral Healthcare, we provide resources and information, encouraging people to discuss mental health and seek services. Our program serves adults, adolescents, and children ages four and older. Call us today at (904) 829-2273.
College students experience high levels of stress that are often the result of a mix of factors, including academic pressures and financial concerns.

The impact of EPIC's Second Wind Village is best conveyed through the voices of our residents.
One female client shared her journey with us, detailing how she came to us after nearly losing her children, job, and home due to alcoholism. After completing the detox program, she entered Second Wind's sober living facility, which she credits with transforming her life.
Through our support and the connections she made with others in recovery, she was able to rebuild her life, find stable housing, and is now on the path to homeownership through the Homeless Coalition St Johns County.
This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to help change a life—maybe even save one. When you speak openly about mental health, share your story, or simply stand beside someone who’s struggling, you remind them that they are not alone. So many in our community are fighting silent battles with substance use and mental health disorders, and right now, they need hope more than ever.
Your compassion can be that hope.
Your generosity can be someone’s second chance.
Please DONATE TODAY through our Giving Tuesday page. Use your voice and your platform to break the silence, end the stigma, and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Together, we can bring light to the darkest moments and protect the most vulnerable members of St. Augustine.

Our mission is to strengthen our community by providing person-centered care to individuals and families impacted by substance use and mental health disorders, and other behaviors through a comprehensive system of Education, Prevention, Intervention, and Counseling.
Our vision is to be the primary leader of quality, comprehensive behavioral healthcare in our community.
EPIC Behavioral Healthcare (EPIC) believes that recovery from addiction, substance use disorders and mental health disorders is real. People can, and do, overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them. EPIC agrees that addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. EPIC also recognizes that many individuals served by our agency are challenged by a mental health disorder. While treatable, EPIC believes that substance use and mental health disorders impact all areas of an individual’s life, including all of their relationships, vocational/education goals and skills, emotional well-being and their physical health. For both substance use and mental disorders, our commitment is to provide effective, affordable, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive and comprehensive care to impacted individuals and families.
EPIC has historically incorporated the idea of, “wellness,” into our programs. This allows EPIC to have the best outcomes for our clients. EPIC focuses on formalizing its commitment to overall wellness for our clients using SAMHSA’s (Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration) 8 Dimensions of Wellness as a guideline.
EPIC pledges to provide quality services and care to our community’s most vulnerable citizens. We will work to improve understanding in our community about mental and substance use disorders. We will promote emotional health and the prevention of addiction/substance use and mental disorders and will increase access to effective treatment and wellness programs while supporting recovery.
EPIC promises that children, adolescents, families, adults and seniors will find the support and help needed through our continuum of care to improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential while on the path to recovery from addiction/substance use disorders and mental health disorders.
Our philosophy is person-centered which means we put you at the center of your treatment and respect your freedom to make your own choices and choose your own direction.
