Lionheart Foundation

September 30, 2024

The Lionheart Foundation, established in 1992, is a 501[c][3] nonprofit organization committed to creating high impact, evidence based programming that empowers incarcerated adults, at risk youth, adolescent parents, and direct care staff.

EQ2 is an interactive training and support program for direct care staff working with youth at risk. It fills a critical gap in building trauma informed communities. EQ2 refers to the combined emotional intelligence of staff and the youth they serve. Research shows that the relationships youth create with caregiving adults hold enormous potential for healing and transformation. EQ2 is uniquely designed to help staff build the essential and often complex social and emotional regulation skills required to actively manage how they respond to youths’ traumatic stress reactions and challenging behavior.
