Get Holiday Support Before You Need it!

...because sometimes it's hard to go home.

Get equipped to have the conversations that are most important to you before you get into them. Do you usually stay silent when you wish you could speak? Let's talk about it! Do you usually start yelling when it's not helpful? Let's talk about it! Are you not sure how to respond to the things they say without feeling like you're shorting out? Let's talk about it! I'll hold space for you so you can hold space for transformation within the lives of the people you care for the most!

What to Pay?

You probably noticed that there are several payment options. This is because I want this workshop to be accessible, while also being able to pay my bills. What should you pay? What you can. It's that simple. Choose what to pay based on what you are able to contribute. If you can pay at a higher range, do. If you have to choose a lower amount because you only have a small amount to offer, choose a smaller amount. If you can't figure out what to choose, there are some guidelines below:

  • $200-250

    ✯ My identities have historically and/or presently held power (white, upper middle class, able-bodied, generational/inherited wealth, etc.) ✯ I got an undergraduate or graduate degree without having student loans, loans are paid off, or I’m able to put more than the minimum payment toward paying them off ✯ If I want to, I could eat and drink out at least once a week, or more frequently ✯ My income is something that gives me disposable income while remaining fairly comfortable ✯ I can choose whether to work or not and still have all my needs and most of my desires met, or I partly or completely live off unearned income ✯ I have a stable and growing career and/or high (potential or realized) earning power ✯ I have inherited/intergenerational assets and have my own personal assets (inheritance, owning a home, investments, retirement accounts, etc.)

  • $100-$150

    ✮ I can cover basic needs with some extras occasionally ✮ Someone in my family explained how college and careers worked and assisted me ✮ Annual income is sustaining, even if you don’t have a lot of wealth ✮ I completed a bachelor’s and/or Master’s (or terminal) degree ✮ I’m steadily paying down student loans or have paid them off (or had them paid off) ✮ My family of origin has/had assets (like a paid-off house, retirement accounts, etc.) ✮ If I need financial support, I’m able to look to family, my community or a lender for access to money (I might even be able to get someone to loan me money to fund this)

  • $50 or choose your own

    ☆ My social identities have historically, mainly been oppressed, or current disability impact my ability to create income, as well as my earning potential ☆ I utilize state or federal assistance for basic needs (like medical care, for example) ☆ I was the first to go to college or the first generation to attend ☆ I make enough income to meet mainly basic needs and have little to no assets ☆ Have survival credit card debt that I’m not accruing, but am paying off, and/or on income-based repayment for student loans (or unable to pay them due to size) ☆ On income-based repayment for student loans or only can pay basic payments ☆ I can’t really afford a vacation ☆ I don’t have access to savings and have been systematically barred from receiving loans (besides predatory pay day loans)

Choosing My Own

This is for people who want to choose their own price. Maybe you need a lower price, need something in the middle that's not covered, or want to contribute more. When you are finished at the link below, email Jessica at hello [at] jessicaddickson.com
