Finding Hope Consulting

Translating cutting edge relational neuroscience into everyday activities that anyone can use to promote healing, resiliency and hope.

Founded in 2007 by Mary Vicario, Finding Hope Consulting addresses the gap in training available to communities by turning current brain chemistry research into practical interventions for children, adults and people with developmental disabilities who have experienced trauma. Through interactive and entertaining training, Finding Hope brings neurobiology to life using common language and interven

tions for clinicians, caseworkers, birth and foster parents, developmental disabilities service providers and others. In addition to training, Finding Hope Consulting provides “theory to practice” consultation to help you immediately apply your learning to your daily interactions with those you serve. Contact us at:

Honestly? Print this out and tape it somewhere you'll see it every day. 💜

💜 Join us for our next Lunch & Learn — and this one is for you just as much as it's for those you serve.

On May 28th from 12–1 PM EST, we're diving deep into Resilience and You: Building Resilience in Ourselves and Those We Serve and Support.

Here's what you'll walk away with:
✅ The top 5 resilience factors found in people who have experienced trauma and moved beyond it
✅ A clearer understanding of your role — even in a single interaction — in helping those you serve build resilience
✅ Practical skills to support yourself in this vital, challenging work

Because you can't pour from an empty cup. This session honors BOTH the people you show up for AND the person you are.

🗓️ May 28, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST
📍 Online | Free to attend

🌟 The new TRCC series is HERE — and registration is officially open!

If you've been waiting for the right time to deepen your trauma-responsive practice, this is it. 💜

The Trauma Responsive Care Certification (TRCC) isn't just another training. It's a transformation in how you see — and serve — the people in your care.
It starts by changing the question.
Not "What's wrong with you?"
But "What happened to you?"
And then — "What did you do to survive?"
That shift? It changes everything.

Here's what the 2026–2027 cohort includes:
📚 2 full-day Foundational Training sessions
🔄 6 Theory-to-Practice sessions — learn it, apply it, bring it back
📖 A 200-page Strategy & Intervention Manual
✅ 44 Continuing Education Units (approved for OH, MI, TN, WV & IN boards)
🏅 Trauma Responsive Care Certification upon completion

8 sessions | All via Zoom | August 28, 2026 – March 19, 2027

💰 Full Series: $1,100 | Foundational Only: $300 | Payment plans available!

Space is limited to 90 participants — and spots will fill up.

👇 Register today and join a community of professionals committed to bringing real, lasting change to those they serve.

The hard stuff doesn't get swept under the rug here. But neither does the hope. 💜
Trauma is real. AND so is the possibility of moving through it. Both truths deserve space.
Save this if you needed the reminder today.

🌟 CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who completed the TRCC Series!! 🌟

This is not a small thing. Completing this certification means you've made a commitment — to your community, to those you serve, and to the belief that trauma-informed care can and should be woven into every corner of how we show up for one another.

You didn't just finish a course. You became part of a growing movement of certified, compassionate, trauma-informed professionals who are actively changing what care looks like in our communities. 💜

We are SO proud of each and every one of you.

The work you'll carry forward from here has the power to ripple outward in ways you may never fully see — but trust us, it matters more than you know.
