EPIC \u2018Ohana\u2019s vision and innovative approaches are tremendous steps in vastly improving our foster care system. From attorney to the director of EPIC \u2018Ohana, Laurie Tochiki at EPIC \u2018Ohana is transforming the foster care system to make it into a more supportive, thriving system for Hawai\u2019i\u2019s youth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EPIC \u2018Ohana began with a pilot project in 1996 when family court attorney Laurie Tochiki and Arlynna Livingston came together in an effort to found a program that could help foster children and strengthen families who were struggling in times of crisis. As of today, EPIC \u2018Ohana has grown to have over 100 employees statewide.<\/span><\/p>\n

I spoke with Laurie this week as EPIC celebrates its 25th year as a nonprofit organization. Laurie still has a strong presence with EPIC \u2018Ohana today. She would never have guessed when she became a lawyer many years ago that her focus would shift to the field of social work. \u201cI was a practicing attorney, working in family court and watching cases come in day after day with struggling families. Our judge heard about a method called Family Group Decision Making in New Zealand and thought this would be very helpful to families in Hawai\u2019i.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The term \u2018child welfare\u2019 refers to the services designed to ensure the safety of children, working to strengthen families to succeed in caring for their children. At its core, it works towards the health, happiness, and wellbeing of a child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe try to bring extended family into the circle of support when children have been abused or neglected,\u201d says Laurie. \u201cTo have a child\u2019s extended family step forward can be a huge asset.\u201d With funding from the Edna Clark foundation, experts from New Zealand came to Hawai\u2018i to share their experience with Family Group Decision Making.\u00a0 Lili\u2018uokalani Trust also traveled to New Zealand to learn more about the process.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Child welfare services continue to be overwhelmed, receiving lots of criticism especially from the wider community. It\u2019s a very complicated topic and often requires a complex and nuanced approach. In the past, the extended family of a child was often excluded from decision making. Family Group Decision Making process has become a state wide service. This service includes the child\u2019s <\/span>\u2018ohana<\/span><\/i> (family) in what happens next in the child\u2019s troubled life, rather than separating the child from everyone who knows and cares about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After successfully launching Family Group Decision Making process, EPIC \u2018Ohana began a program for foster youth who were \u201caging out\u201d and becoming adults. Laurie explained to me how EPIC \u2018Ohana is now supporting new adults from the foster program with planning assistance, helping them to find a place to live, attain healthcare, make career decisions, or begin school. EPIC \u2018Ohana also hosts Youth Circles for meaningful conversations and peer support.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThings grew from there. We began an initiative called HI HOPES – an organization of current and former foster youth who advocate for brothers and sisters in the foster care system,\u201d says Laurie. \u201cHI HOPES brings former foster children into a leadership role to help those who are younger and still considered foster children. We have just under 300 current foster youth and former foster youth in the HI HOPES match program.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I felt so encouraged and inspired by the end of my call with Laurie Tochiki.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies are the foundation of our community, and their well-being is inextricably linked to the health and prosperity of the community, state, and nation. EPIC works to strengthen \u2018ohana and enhance the welfare of children and youth through transformative processes that are respectful, collaborative and solution-oriented,\u201d according to EPIC \u2018Ohana\u2019s mission statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very proud of the amazing, loving people who believe in these families,\u201d says Laurie. \u201cWe try to strengthen each other. It\u2019s not easy work, especially when people are in the middle of crisis and challenge, but together we can do a lot. The work is very rewarding.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EPIC \u2018Ohana brings a spark of joy to the families and young people who go through Hawai\u2019i\u2019s foster care system.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
