Living with the Economics of Estrangement

Estrangement doesn't only change who shows up at the holidays. It changes your balance sheet. Losing family can mean losing a safety net: a place to land, help with childcare, a co-signer, a financial backstop, even an emergency contact.

In this 45-minute talk, followed by 15 minutes of Q&A, we'll look at the real economic costs our community reported in the Community Needs Survey, then get practical about budgeting, building your own backstop, and protecting yourself on paper.
