Why emotional intelligence
Why Firebird treats emotional skills as part of stability and organizational culture.
Emotional Education
Emotional skills belong in the daily work.
Firebird is building emotional intelligence into its shelter culture for staff and clients. The Witness and Judge Framework is psychoeducation and coaching, not clinical treatment and not a replacement for it.
Programs are not running yet. Hearthside is still in development.

Staff practice
The same standard is intended for the people doing the work, not only the people receiving services.
