Making Time Count, the companion workbook that walks participants through the Houses of Healing Program, has impacted hundreds of incarcerated individuals by giving them the tools to complete the program on their own. Here are just a few comments from participants.
In 2008, The Lionheart Foundation began our biggest pilot of the Power Source Program with youth in the adolescent units on Rikers Island.
We were fortunate to recruit committed facilitators to implement the program & help us to evaluate the impact on participants, one of whom was @Lesliebooker Booker. Booker brings her heart & wisdom to the intersection of Dharma + Embodied Wisdom + Social Justice.
Watch or read our latest interview on Booker’s experience implementing Power Source with youth on #RikersIsland.

In all of our programs, we strive to make the skills we teach transferable to multiple situations or interactions. In Power Source Parenting, we review not only effective parenting skills, but also effective people skills. Check out this handout – which are most important to you?

If you haven’t heard, Lionheart is looking forward to launching our new and improved EQ2 App, part of our EQ2 program for direct care staff who work with trauma-impacted youth.
The EQ2 App provides real time support and coaching to staff, including a range of tools to inspire, train, and expand their knowledge and skills so that they can be the best Emotion Coaches they can be.
We're committed to updating our programming to meet the needs of communities we serve. We’re excited to announce the release of two new resources in our EQ2 program’s section Providing Effective Supervision: Cultivating a Growth Mindset and Meeting Mistakes with a Growth Mindset.
As we enter 2022, Lionheart remains committed to providing high-impact SEL resources to trauma-impacted communities. We're reminded continuously about the impact of our programs by letters & feedback from our participants. Thank you for being part of the Lionheart community!
The holidays can be a difficult time for many people, especially youth who are in residential or other out-of-home placements. We really appreciated this article from @wi_norrisinc on ways to support youth in residential care during the holiday season. norriscenter.org/uncategoriz…
We recently announced the launch of our newest initiative. Lionheart’s goal is to bring its life-altering rehabilitative programming to 2,000 individuals in highly restrictive housing in prisons across the U.S.

Convict. Criminal. Felon. Illegal immigrant. Prisoner.
Defining someone by a past act strips them of their full humanity and capacity for growth. This language is dangerous; it can dehumanize entire groups of people—promoting stereotypes and stoking fear: vera.org/blog/words-matter-d…
We know the end of the year can be a stressful time, which is why it’s important to find ways to take care of ourselves and each other.
Here’s a worksheet from our Power Source Parenting Program that lists ways to give ourselves some peace when stress levels start to rise!
We are deeply thankful for the support and generosity of volunteers and interns -- an integral part of our ability to expand our impact and bring our trauma-informed programs and support to a growing number of organizations and individuals.

The life changing work we do would not be possible without volunteers and the generosity of others. We are thankful for our new partnership with @wearegoodera!
