Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital

“Buried in Treasure” Facilitated Support Group Begins in December

December 3, 2014 //  by admin

OCES logoIs clutter affecting you at home, work or in your relationships?  Does the clutter create safety issues or embarrass you?

Old Colony Elder Services (OCES), the Brockton based regional agency serving older adults and individuals with disabilities throughout greater Brockton and Plymouth county, and partnering agencies through the Greater Brockton Area Hoarding (GBAH) Task Force are offering a 12 week “Buried in Treasure” facilitated support group for individuals with hoarding issues.

Hoarding is when individuals continue to accumulate items, such as clothes, newspapers and food, and then have persistent difficulty discarding possessions. Individuals with hoarding behaviors often face health issues related to falls, as well as run the risk of losing their homes.

The “Buried in Treasure” facilitated support group will be held on Tuesdays, beginning in December 2014, from 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. at Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital, 680 Centre Street in Brockton. There is no cost to attend; all attendees will receive a complimentary workbook.

The support group will be coordinated by OCES and facilitated by South Bay Mental Health of Brockton. It is sponsored by the GBAH Task Force and funded by a $3,000 grant from MassHousing.

For more information or to sign up for the support group, contact Aditi Gohil, LMHC at South Bay Mental Health (508) 232-6564.  Pre-registration is required.
