What do we mean by “clutter”?
![Page 8: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
DSM-5: Diagnostic Criteria
A. Persistent difficulty discarding possessions
i. Regardless of the value others may attribute to
these possessions
B. Caused by strong urges to save items
C. Accumulation of a large number of possessions that
render the home or areas of the homes not useable
D. Cause clinically significant distress or impairment
E. Symptoms are not due to a general condition
![Page 9: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Clutterers Anonymous defines clutter as,
“…anything we don’t need, want, or use that takes our time, energy, or space, and destroys our serenity. It can be outgrown clothes, obsolete papers, broken toys, disliked gifts, meaningless activity, ancient resentments, or unsatisfying relationships. We may be selective in some areas, but not in others. Objects may be strewn about or wedged in drawers; neatly stacked or stowed in storage.”
![Page 10: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Bottom Line: Got too much stuff?
Nearly everyone in America periodically feels we have “too much stuff” and tries to simplify, organize, and de-clutter.
Each of us deals with this challenge in our own unique ways.
Sometimes we feel overwhelmed.
You are not alone.
![Page 11: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Group activity Tell us about one thing you hold onto that
anyone else would think is junk, and why
you keep it.

Who does clutter affect?

Samuels, 2008
![Page 14: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
9 – 15 Million People

Clutter issues affect approximately the
same percentage of the population as
Alzheimer’s Disease.
As with Alzheimer’s,
stigma around
Hoarding Disorder
can affect open
discussion and
willingness to seek
treatment.
![Page 16: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Between 25,000 to
50,000 adults in San
Francisco face
hoarding and cluttering
challenges – and that
estimate may be low.
![Page 17: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Clutter issues disproportionately affect
older adult populations. Why?
Elders have lived long enough to accumulate more stuff.
They have a greater likelihood of experiencing a life-altering event.
Death of a loved one
Health crisis
Loss of a job or retirement
They may have experienced downsizing, especially in conjunction with custodial care of items left behind by loved ones who have died.

Social Isolation and Clutter The vicious circle

Many people who seek treatment cite lapsed
social connections as their primary motivation
for wanting to beat clutter.
![Page 23: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Many people who deal with clutter are
exceptionally social and are greatly afflicted
by loneliness and isolation.

The Peer Response Team is a group of individuals who have experienced serious problems—stress, anxiety, depression, stigma, damage to relationships, health and safety issues, eviction, isolation— when we lost control over our stuff.
We believe it is possible to regain control of your life.
We believe that non-judgmental peer support can help.
We are building a community of people affected by this issue.
![Page 56: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
We identified social connection as a key to
recovery.
We offered 1:1 In-Home Peer Support.
Not sustainable in the long term due to travel
and increased reliance on Peer Responders for
alleviating social isolation
We engage individuals and encourage them
to join an increasing variety of groups.
We provide opportunities for social
connection and community building.

Why groups?
Groups, rather than individual therapy, are becoming the gold standard for treatment of clutter issues.
Groups provide not only an optimum learning environment for new skills and strategies, but are also a way of addressing isolation.
Groups provide individuals with a way to connect with clutter buddies – another means of alleviating social isolation.

What can you do to support
seniors on their journey of
de-cluttering?
![Page 77: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
First, do no harm.
Recognize it’s not about the stuff.
Clear the air before you clear the stuff.
Be cautious of the “helper mentality” –
we’re here to empower, not to rescue.
Maintain a non-judgmental attitude –
roll with resistance.
![Page 78: Clearing Clutter, Changing Lives](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022090906/613ca332f046235e845ce76c/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Help the individual to identify their resources, but always let them be in charge – it won’t work otherwise.
Support their process, even/especially if it doesn’t match your own.
Help connect them with community.
Remember that the stuff didn’t get there overnight, and it’s not going to get clear overnight.
Know that alleviating isolation and loneliness first can have a positive effect on motivation to address clutter issues.

If you build it they will come…
Educate yourself & your
communities.
Advocate for services and
peer support.
Provide a safe space for
individuals to connect and
build community.
