TRCC TESTIMONIALS VIDEO - Listen to what Graduates of the Program Said About It: Finding Hope Consulting’s lead trainer, Mary Vicario, has been providing training and consultation to practitioners and organizations in the local community for over 25 years.  She has demonstrated her ability to translate cutting-edge neuroscience into easy-to-use, practical interventions.  

A few comments regarding past training for the TTN:·      

“This training ROCKS!  Every agency needs this training!”·        

“The Presenters are Great!”·        

“Attending the training has provided resources and knowledge that encourages me to attain more training and education.”·          

“I am a new clinician and this was not covered in grad school.  Everyone should have to  take this course for professional growth and harm reduction.”

"I've used this material so much." 

Finding Hope Consulting, LLC was founded by Mary Vicario in 2007 to address a training gap by translating the latest research on the neuroscience of trauma into everyday interventions for those working with individuals with complex trauma of all ages and ability levels. Finding Hope Consulting, LLC is comprised of experts in trauma responsive care that trains and consults nationally and internationally.  

Since 1992, Ms. Vicario has studied and participated in on-going continuing education at Harvard Medical School and with Harvard professors at Wellesley College, where they study and present.  Finding Hope consultants attend ongoing intensive training with the leading experts in trauma such as Bessel van der Kolk, Bruce Perry, Stephen Porges and Herbert Benson.  They hold certificates in Traumatic Stress Studies from The Child Trauma Center at the Justice Resource Institute in Brookline Massachusetts and are Certified Trauma Specialists.

Finding Hope brings the saying “It takes a village to raise a child” to a whole new level with best practice grants, training and consulting with court systems, residential facilities, mental health and foster care agencies, boards of Developmental Disabilities (DD), and educational service centers to support communities in developing trauma responsive services that bridge systems of care and fosters natural supports in clinicians and those they serve.  Finding Hope believes organizations need to treat their staff the way they want their staff to treat their clients making self care a component of each training and consultation. Finding Hope is committed to remaining on the cutting edge of brain science research to provide tools to spread healing, resiliency and hope throughout communities across the globe.  

The “theory to practice” modules Mary and her team will be providing as part of the Trauma-Responsive Care Certification include consultation to help practitioners apply their learning in daily interactions with those they serve.  This is not a “train and go” certification model.  It is a, learn, practice, receive feedback, and master model. Below are the 8 modules that practitioners will participate in.
