We are excited to share this virtual celebration of ‘Ohana Conferencing - 25 years of service in Hawai‘i .

Begun in 1996, EPIC’s ‘Ohana Conferencing Program is now an essential statewide service that's provided to families who are navigating Hawaii's Child Welfare Services.

A Healing Journey: The Road to Reunification outlines the stages parents go through when their family enters Child Welfare Services (CWS).

‘Ohana Conferencing is a collaborative effort that brings together families, extended and hanai family, CWS and service providers to plan for the children involved in foster care and to strengthen families.
