For over 20 years, The Lionheart Foundation has developed evidence-based social and emotional learning programs for some of our country’s most vulnerable and underserved populations.

Our newest program, EQ2, reflects what we’ve learned from decades of research and clinical work: in order to effectively help youth heal, we need to support the people who care for them.

EQ2 has been uniquely designed to build a trauma-informed community by addressing the social and emotional needs of direct care staff. EQ2 empowers staff to learn and practice the self-regulation skills and competencies needed to create reparative relationships with youth and with fellow staff.
