West Hartford To Help Folks Win War On Clutter

Town of West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Another holiday season is over and that, often, means another year of getting more stuff on top of the stuff we already have.

And when the stuff piles up, it becomes clutter.

A West Hartford program begins next week to help folks make sense of it all and help us manage all the "stuff" we tend to accumulate over time.

Folks are invited to join the "Buried In Treasures Workshop," a free 16-week, self-help and support group for individuals who have too much stuff and want to declutter their lives.

Each session will focus on a chapter from the book, "Buried in Treasures."

Classes will meet every Tuesday from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. beginning Jan. 9.

The program will feature a combination of virtual meetings and a couple of in-person sessions at West Hartford Town Hall, 50 S. Main St., West

Attendees will:

• Gain increased insight and awareness into your patterns of acquiring, saving, and hoarding.
• Receive support from others.
• Develop strategies to de-clutter your home.
• Change problematic acquiring and discarding behaviors.

Registration is required as space is limited.
