The program

Built for teens, informed by science.

My Future Is EPIC is a strengths-based curriculum informed by the four dimensions SAMHSA identifies as essential to a successful life in recovery: health, home, community, and purpose. It focuses on engaging participants in positive goal-setting while equipping them with techniques to improve leadership, communication, healthy relationships, and self-advocacy.

Available in English and Spanish, it helps young people take action and create a road map for their future — whether they're preventing substance misuse or already in recovery.
