Serving systems-impacted people through trauma-informed programs
Lionheart develops and scales high-impact, social-emotional learning (SEL) programs designed specifically for our target populations. These include adults in prisons and jails; at-risk youth in residential care, juvenile justice settings, and schools; teen parents in group homes, shelters, and other community programs; and direct care staff serving trauma-impacted youth populations.

For over thirty years, Lionheart has been present in places where healing is hard to find. We began with a simple belief. Every person carries dignity, even when the world overlooks them.
Many of the people we serve have lived through trauma, loss, and deep hurt. Some grew up without safety. Some learned to hide their feelings to survive. Some were never shown how to care for themselves or others.
Our mission is to help people learn calm, self-worth, and steady hope so they can grow, make safe choices, and build lives they feel proud to live.
We create space to slow down and breathe.
Space to notice feelings.
Space to understand what has been carried for a long time.
Our programs teach simple emotional skills that can be used in daily life. We work with adults in prison, youth in the justice system, teen parents building new futures, and staff who support others every day.
Healing does not happen in silence. It grows in small steps, inside real lives.
Monique began a journey of healing with Houses of Healing. She learned to listen to her feelings and make new choices. Her story reminds us that we see each day at Lionheart. It shows that change is possible.
Support UsThe Impact
Jason struggled with anger and destructive behavior as a teenager. In juvenile hall, he acted out through fighting, stealing, and drug use. He even had to prove his defiance by hitting the fence multiple times.
When he encountered Power Source, it offered him tools to reflect on his choices, manage his emotions, and set goals for his future. Jason began to understand the impact of his actions on his family, including his father's imprisonment.
Through the program, he found hope and direction. He is now focused on preparing for college after release, demonstrating that emotional learning and goal-setting can transform the lives of high-risk youth.
Transformed lives through deep understanding and emotional resilience.
Creating spaces of hope for those overlooked by traditional systems.

"These tools gave me a path I never saw before. Through the social-emotional learning curriculum, I discovered ways to build resilience and reconnect with my community in meaningful ways."
"I'm learning to breathe again, one moment at a time. The trauma-informed approach helped me understand my reactions and gave me practical strategies for managing stress and building healthier relationships."
