School Counseling & Mental Health
School Counseling
School counselors provide social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health support and early intervention to Epic students, beginning in PK, by teaching the skills needed to create habits for academic success, ensure self-awareness, and develop coping and social skills.
Counselors provide instruction, counseling support, and early intervention services primarily through virtual small groups. However, other supports and services are also available depending on need.
The school counseling team is trained in crisis intervention and response. These services include wellness check-ins, individual mental health support and referrals to mental health partners, reentry planning from inpatient facilities, or extended absences due to mental health.
Please reach out to your teacher, or email studentwellness@epiccharterschools to connect with your school counselor.

Mental Health
Epic prioritizes the mental health and well-being of our students. To improve student access to mental health care, Epic’s school-employed mental health providers partner with Community Mental Health Providers to ensure that students in all 77 counties can access the supports they need at school and in their community. Depending on location and family need, providers meet with youth and their families via teletherapy or in their communities.

To request a mental health referral, please complete a Mental Health Services Request. You will be asked to provide contact information and to indicate the type of services requested. Once complete, a referral will be made to a partnering agency. Families with insurance will be asked to share that information. If no insurance is available, a third-party agency will assist the family in locating a provider to ensure access to care.

Supporting Homeless Students at Epic Charter Schools
At Epic Charter School, we are committed to providing a free and appropriate public education to all students, including those experiencing homelessness. Our administration and teachers actively seek out students who are homeless or in need of additional services, regularly monitoring enrollment data, referrals, and input from staff to identify those who may require support.
Defining Homelessness
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11434a(2)) defines "homeless children and youths" as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This includes:
-
Children and youths sharing housing due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or similar reasons.
-
Those living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, camping grounds, emergency or transitional shelters, or awaiting foster care placement.
-
Children with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for regular sleeping.
-
Those living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, bus or train stations, or similar settings.
-
Migratory children living in circumstances described above.

Resilient & Healthy Schools
At Epic Charter Schools, we are committed to creating safe, supportive, and thriving learning environments where all students and staff can succeed. Our Healthy & Resilient Schools approach integrates physical, mental, and emotional well-being into the educational experience, ensuring every student is ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
Wellness Multi-Tiered Systems of Supports (MTSS)
Epic’s Wellness MTSS is a whole-child framework designed to support every student’s behavioral, social, and mental health needs. This proactive, schoolwide system ensures that students receive the right level of support at the right time.
Our MTSS framework includes three tiers of support:
-
Tier 1 – Universal Supports: Wellness practices for all students, such as social learning, positive behavior expectations, and schoolwide prevention programs.
-
Tier 2 – Targeted Supports: Small-group interventions for students needing additional help, such as counseling groups, skill-building lessons, or mentoring.
-
Tier 3 – Intensive Supports: Individualized services for students with significant or ongoing needs, often involving specialized staff and community resources.
By combining prevention, early intervention, and individualized care, Wellness MTSS creates a safe, inclusive environment where all students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
