Empower Recovery:Support My Advanced Addiction Certification

Story: ‎ ‎Who I Am ‎

Hello my name is Jessica Hall. I’m a dedicated mental health advocate, a Master’s candidate in Clinical Psychology, and someone deeply committed to helping individuals and families overcome addiction. I earned my B.A. in Psychology (Addictions Concentration) in just two years, graduating every term on the President’s List, Dean’s List, and Honor Roll. ‎ ‎Who I Am Raising Funds For ‎This campaign is for myself, so I can enroll in and complete an exclusive, high-level Addiction Specialist Certification alongside my graduate studies. ‎ ‎

My Relationship with the Beneficiary 

‎I am the direct beneficiary this investment in my education is also an investment in the countless lives I’ll be able to help through advanced clinical care. ‎ ‎Why This Certification Matters ‎While FAFSA generously covers my Master’s program, it does not cover this specialized certification. This program will give me the tools to: ‎ ‎Master the latest evidence-based interventions for addiction recovery ‎ ‎Qualify for advanced counseling roles in hospitals, treatment centers, and private practice ‎ ‎Mentor other professionals, multiplying our impact across the community ‎ ‎ ‎

How the Funds Will Be Delivered 

‎All donations will be received securely through this platform and applied directly toward the certification program’s tuition and related materials. ‎ ‎How the Funds Will Be Spent ‎ ‎$3,500 Tuition for the Addiction Specialist Certification program ‎ ‎$500 Required textbooks, research materials, and professional resources ‎ ‎Any remaining funds Workshop development for free community addiction recovery sessions ‎ ‎

Why Now?

I plan to complete this certification while earning my Master’s degree graduating with both credentials in the same semester. This dual enrollment approach will: ‎ ‎

1. Accelerate my ability to serve clients effectively ‎ ‎ ‎

2. Maximize every dollar you invest ‎ ‎ ‎

3. Launch my career at the highest level of clinical readiness ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

Your contribution doesn’t just help me it helps every person I’ll counsel in the future. 

With your support, I will: ‎ ‎

Provide personalized, research-backed treatment to those struggling with addiction ‎ ‎Offer pro bono sessions for underserved populations ‎ ‎Share knowledge through free community workshops, empowering others to heal ‎ ‎ ‎Every dollar counts. Even a $10 gift moves us closer to a future where more people receive the care they deserve. ‎ ‎From the bottom of my heart thank you for believing in the power of education and compassion to change lives. Together, we can create healthier, stronger communities. ‎ ‎
