Support Group for People Who Compulsively Hoard and Clutter

Compulsive hoarding and cluttering is the acquisition and failure to discard a large number of possessions, appearing to be useless or of limited value, in an attempt to decrease stress and anxiety. This serious and prevalent problem can lead to eviction and homelessness. It is often a feature of several psychiatric disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit disorder, and major depression, and can be cause or aggravated by problems associated with increasing age or physical disabilities.

MHA-SF holds a support group for people who compulsively hoard and clutter on a regular basis. Note: Information about the treatment group for people who hoard that MHA-SF also has to offer has been moved to http://mha-sf.org/programs/ichc/treatmentgroup.cfm.

The following are the dates, times, and locations for upcoming support group meetings in 2008.
