ServiceNet now offers group treatment to assist
individuals with issues around compulsive
hoarding. We help group members examine
their thinking about their possessions, alter their
habits of acquisition, and gain skills at organizing
and discarding, thus making living spaces safer
and more functional, and daily life less stressful
and more enjoyable. For more information,
contact Christine Mero at 413-585-1332.
*We included this organization because they may be
able to refer you to cleaning resources for hoarding
situations in your area since they are familar with it
and offer treatment for.
