This app is for parents attending an Empowering Parents Empowering Communities (EPEC) parenting group. It will allow you to access course materials and makes the course even more engaging. If you have any questions or need assistance please speak with your course facilitator. We hope you enjoy it.
The Centre for Parent and Child Support (CPCS) is an NHS specialist child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS), part of the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. CPCS specialises in developing, evaluating and delivering innovative programmes that make a difference to children’s and families’ lives. One such programme developed at the centre, “Empowering Parents, Empowering Communities” (EPEC), trains local parents to deliver parenting courses in their own community.
The EPEC app is an engaging and effective online intervention in the form of an app which parents can access in a time and place that suites them. Using the EPEC app, parents are able to interact with each other, complete homework tasks, write reflective logs, speak with the group facilitators and access extra information in between weekly sessions.
The EPEC app has been developed by Abdullah Malik, Dhairya Mehta, Eduard Jusufi, Moran Mor, Muhammad Malik, Mujtaba Farooq, Nafis Bin Azad, Nizam Gulsun, Osama Aboukoura and Vishva Patel.
