Course Content
Adverse Childhood Experiences’ (ACEs) research demonstrates that trauma has become the epidemic beneath the epidemic of addiction and other social challenges. Trauma, like addiction, affects entire families and communities. Even though we understand on a deep level that healing happens in relationship, the resulting complex array of physical, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges brought on by trauma can make it difficult, even with the best of intentions, to connect with and support trauma survivors.
This lively and interactive training guides participants through the effects of trauma on brain development, functioning and family systems. You will learn the top five resilience factors found in people who move beyond their traumatic life experiences without numbing themselves with substances or recreating the trauma. These same resilience factors can be used to help those who work with families struggling with trauma address the effects of vicarious traumatization.
Participants will learn simple approaches and tools that lead to healing. These approaches works well for the effects of trauma on all ages, developmental ability levels and even those with early prenatal exposure or pre-verbal trauma.

In 2007, she founded Finding Hope Consulting to address the gap in training available to communities by translating cutting edge relational neuroscience into everyday activities that anyone can use to promote healing, resilience and hope. Through interactive and entertaining presentations, Finding Hope brings the neurobiology of hope to life with a focus on supporting underserved populations and creating trauma-responsive communities. Ms. Vicario’s 35 years experience includes being an educator, counselor, People to People American Counseling Association delegate to China and Mongolia; guest lecturing and participating in a conference on human trafficking in Germany, co-authoring the Foster Parents' Survival Guide, a journal article on Relational-Cultural Play Therapy, trauma responsive curricula for individuals with Intellectual and Development Disabilities (IDD) and a textbook chapter in S. Smith-Adcock and C. Tucker Eds. (2016), Counseling Children and Adolescents: Connecting Theory, Development and Diversity for Sage Publishing. Each day, Mary’s father asked her, “What did you do today, to make the world a better place?” She hopes her audiences leave knowing one more way they can do just that.
