Free Youth Su***de Prevention Training!

It’s Time to Talk about it! (ITTAI) is designed to teach family members, caregivers, and other invested community members who interact with young people how to recognize the warning signs and risk factors of su***de so that they are able to identify these signs in youth whom they may encounter in everyday activities and have conversations about su***de that help youth create a safety net.

If you are an adult who works or interacts with youth, this training is for you. Upon completion, participants earn a personalized certificate.

This free virtual training will be held on Monday, November 3rd, from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Sign up today at www.eventbrite.com/e/its-time-to-talk-about-it-ittai-virtual-tickets-1731200008829.

In-person or virtual private training can be scheduled for groups at no cost. Please contact Teresa Andrews at tandrews@epicbh.org or (904) 829-3295 for more information.

Talkable Communities provides free community training in collaboration with five nonprofit organizations: Starting Point Behavioral Healthcare, EPIC Behavioral Healthcare, Gateway—Steps to Recovery, Clay Behavioral Health Center, and Child Guidance Center.

October is Depression Awareness Month.

"Thanks to sensationalized media depictions of mental illness and stigma surrounding mental health conditions, people tend to have a limited view of what depression actually looks like.

When you think of a “depressed person,” perhaps you envision an image from a movie or medication commercial: Someone lying alone in a dark room, crying into a box of tissues, overcome with feelings of hopelessness.

This picture is not necessarily inaccurate; it is simply incomplete. There are many more manifestations of depression — symptoms that aren’t necessarily visible or immediately obvious.

Knowing the seldom discussed symptoms of depression is a valuable skill; being able to recognize the less obvious signs may help you or a loved one identify and seek treatment for depression, if needed. Additionally, knowing and fully understanding these symptoms allows us to be more compassionate and helpful to those who are living with mental health conditions."

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.

At EPIC Behavioral Healthcare, we offer the MARS Program, which offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which is the combination of medications, outpatient counseling, care coordination services, and other behavioral therapies, all to treat opioid and/or alcohol addiction.

Research shows that it's the most effective treatment.

If you are ready to stop, we can help. It’s challenging and can be dangerous to stop alcohol and opioid use on your own without medical supervision due to withdrawal symptoms.

For more information or to make an appointment, please call (904) 829-2273 x7102 or (904) 417-7100 for the EPIC Recovery Center detoxification services.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month,

Many people are bullied, especially those in their teenage years. But many times, people are not sure how to speak up or speak out against bullying.

There are three different individuals in a bullying situation: the victim, the bully, and the bystanders. Each of these individuals is affected differently by bullying.

We offer an Active Parenting Program and Parent Education, which helps reduce family conflict and child behavior problems by improving parenting skills, enhancing family communication, and increasing supervision and discipline.

Learn more at www.epicbh.org/demo/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Active-parenting-2025.pdf and call us at (904) 829-2273 to speak with a prevention educator.

About EPIC Behavioral Healthcare

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.
