This class is for older adults and their adult children to address the silent epidemic of clutter and the inevitability that the clutter (and home) has to be cleaned out eventually. We will discuss the mental health issues that can result in living in a clutter-free space, how to have the conversations necessary to help clean out the parent’s home, and how to put together a plan to make it happen in the most compassionate manner possible.

This class is designed to teach parents how and why keeping a clutter-free and organized home will benefit all members of the family (or individual). Learn science-based evidence of how clutter impacts mental health, as well as the science-based evidence of how living in clutter-free and organized spaces benefits the mind and overall health of the young and old. AND, learn how EVERYONE can be involved...and without the conflict!
