Finding Hope Consulting

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 β€œtheory to practice” consultation to help you immediately apply your learning to your daily interactions with those you serve.

🧠 What if the key to understanding trauma wasn't just emotional β€” but biological?

Join us on June 23rd from 12–1 PM EST for our Lunch & Learn: Trauma and Resilience on a Cellular Level β€” where science meets care.

We'll explore:
πŸ”¬ The Social Physical Pain Overlap Theory (SPOT)
πŸͺž The Mirror Neuron System and what it means for connection and healing
πŸ’Š The neurotransmitters at play in trauma and resilience
🌍 How family, work, community, and culture shape our relationships β€” and our healing

As Jean Baker Miller said long before we could see inside the brain: all growth occurs in connection, and all connection is embedded in culture. Relational neuroscience is now giving us the evidence to back that up.

You'll leave this session knowing not just what hurts β€” but how to help.

Read that again. Slowly. πŸ’œ

Healing isn't just about surviving what happened β€” it's about choosing something different for your future.

That is what resilience makes possible.

🌟 The new TRCC series is HERE β€” and registration is officially open!

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

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

Here's what the 2026–2027 cohort includes:
πŸ“š 2 full-day Foundational Training sessions
πŸ”„ 6 Theory-to-Practice sessions β€” learn it, apply it, bring it back
πŸ“– A 200-page Strategy & Intervention Manual
βœ… 44 Continuing Education Units (approved for OH, MI, TN, WV & IN boards)
πŸ… Trauma Responsive Care Certification upon completion

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

πŸ’° Full Series: $1,100 | Foundational Only: $300 | Payment plans available!

Space is limited to 90 participants β€” and spots will fill up.

πŸ‘‡ 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. πŸ’œ
Trauma is real. AND so is the possibility of moving through it. Both truths deserve space.
