Our Story
The Resilience Network was created by Hope Stonerook and Heather Dziewulski, two leaders in social work and child development who saw a gap in care for families and set out to fill it.
What began as supporting at-risk youth in their homes grew into a welcoming office space where families could find comfort, trust, and meaningful care. During COVID, our work became even more vital, offering stability and connection when families needed it most.
As the community’s need grew, so did we. Today, The Resilience Network continues to expand to meet families where they are, always grounded in compassion, expertise, and the belief that every child and parent deserves the support every family deserves.
Emotional Development
At our practice, we prioritize emotional development as a cornerstone of growth for children. Emotional development is the foundation of a child's ability to understand, express, and manage their emotions. It begins in infancy, as children form bonds with caregivers, and evolves as they grow, learning to navigate social interactions and build emotional resilience. This process involves recognizing emotions in themselves and others, developing empathy, and practicing emotional regulation.
Our practice uses a proprietary assessment model designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of each client’s unique needs. This model integrates evidence-based approaches with practical insights to evaluate emotional, behavioral, and relational factors. By tailoring the assessment to the individual, we create highly personalized treatment plans that empower growth and foster lasting resilience. Our model ensures a holistic, client-centered foundation for effective care.
