Resilient Hearts Questionnaire

At Stick & Stone Counselling Services, we believe every mother deserves to feel supported, understood, and connected. We also recognize the unique challenges families face when raising children with neurodivergent, developmental, or complex medical needs.

As we look toward the future, we are committed to exploring additional programs, services, and resources that better support you and your children.

Your voice is an important part of that journey. This questionnaire will help us better understand your family's needs, identify gaps in available supports, and guide the development of meaningful resources within our community.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, ideas, and hopes with us. Together, we can continue building a community where families feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Because we are stronger together! 🤍

As we explore how Resilient Hearts can grow, we want to ensure that our next steps reflect the real needs of the families we care so deeply about.

From our hearts to yours 🤍

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences, your hopes, and your ideas.

We know that completing another form may seem like one more thing on an already full plate. Please know that your voice is deeply appreciated.

Our hope is to continue building a community where mothers feel understood, children have greater opportunities to thrive, and families can access meaningful support without having to fight so hard to find it.

We may not have all the answers today, but we believe that listening, connecting, and working together is where meaningful change begins.

You are seen. You matter. And you belong here.

With care,

The Resilient Hearts & Stick & Stone Counselling Services Team

We are stronger together.
