Trauma-Responsive Care Certification
Going beyond understanding trauma and its effects
Finding Hope Consulting partners with organizations throughout the community in providing training, consultation, and certification assistance to individuals working with individuals with complex trauma of all ages and ability levels.
Informative and practical, our eight-session Theory to Practice (T2P) Series combines training with application to help participants immediately apply their learning to their daily interactions with those they serve.
​
It then allows participants to bring feedback to their next session, gain more knowledge, develop new techniques, and return to work to engage them.​

Grow Your Resilience
What is TRCC?
The Trauma Responsive Care Certification (TRCC) turns the common question "What’s wrong with you?" into the trauma-informed question: "What happened to you?" Then it goes further to the trauma responsive question, "What did you do to survive?" Once we recognize survival skills as adaptation, we can engage the hidden resilience in those survival skills to help those we serve and support adapt to their new safer environments.
The full series consists of two parts which includes two days of foundational training and then six T2P training sessions along with same-day assistance applying strategies learned in the current session and previous sessions
to real life scenarios.
Specific session details and training objectives are described in the Full Program Description linked below.

What People Are Saying
Mary is an amazing trainer. She was easy to listen and relate to. I retained the knowledge because we were led to apply the information to our personal lives and the people we work with right away.
​
The Trauma Responsive Care Certification has given me a sturdy foundation that I will have as a tool for the rest of my life.
