The group offers a friendly, confidential environment in which participants can share their difficulties, receive support, and practice strategies for managing their clutter and accumulation behaviors and avoid a hoarding situation.  Space Limited to 8 so if you are interested,  please sign up soon.

Bedford Hoarding Task Force in cooperation with MA Housing is pleased to announce this new support and skill building group to assist ​adults with clutter behaviors and possession accumulation. The fifteen-session group will allow people who are prone to be “buried in treasures” to learn, share, and find support as they practice skills that will​ assist them in de-cluttering their homes.
