Organizing Your Important Papers
A systematic plan for keeping track of important papers can save hours of anxious searching. Knowing where birth certificates, immunization records, vehicle titles, and insurance policies are ensures we can access these important documents quickly and easily, in just a moment, when we need them most. Even on an everyday basis, systematic recordkeeping makes it easier to pay bills on time, find receipts, and share paperwork responsibilities in a family. Keeping organized records may even make tax season a bit less stressful. This class teaches goal setting and other strategies to make recordkeeping manageable.

Hoarding: The Impact of Compulsive Keepers
According to the International OCD Foundation, between 700,000 and 1.4 million people in the United States exhibit compulsive hoarding behavior. Hoarding is defined by the Mayo Clinic as the excessive collection of items, along with the inability to discard them. Hoarding creates cramped living conditions and homes filled to capacity.
Come and learn about aspects of hoarding, the economic and social impacts of hoarding, explore coaching techniques to learn to address people who hoard, as well as resources available for individuals and families to address this problem.
