Are your possessions taking over your home?

Join us for a talk by Marnie McDonald, MSW, LCSW, of North Shore Elder Services. Marnie has been running support groups on the North Shore that have proven to be very effective in helping people deal with the clutter in their homes. With the support of folks with similar problems and the help of a facilitator, the group members have made progress not only in dealing with clutter but also in understanding themselves and their motivations better.

There will be two short video interviews with members of the groups who will tell us a little bit about their experience. Support groups have been proven to be one of the most effective means of helping people work on their home environments. Following Marnie’s talk there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

Using the example of the North Shore De-Clutterers’ Group, we are planning to start our own group here at the Cambridge Senior Center. We are looking for individuals who are interested on working on this problem. The group would require a time commitment of seven meetings of 1 ½ hours each. If you are interested in participating please contact Liz Seelman, Outreach Case Manager at the Cambridge Council on Aging, at: 617-349-6220 or eseelman@cambridgema.gov.
