Clutter Support Groups

Small, supportive groups for people who want help with clutter — without shame, urgency, or pressure.

Not classes. Not therapy. Not quick fixes.

These are professionally facilitated support spaces designed for real humans with real nervous systems, full lives, and complex relationships with their belongings.

A Different Kind of Clutter Support

Many people don’t struggle with clutter because they’re lazy, unmotivated, or doing it wrong.

They struggle because:

  • Their nervous system is overloaded

  • Traditional organizing advice moves too fast

  • Shame and urgency make starting feel unsafe

  • ADHD, grief, burnout, health issues, or life transitions complicate everything

These groups are designed to meet you there.

You won’t be pushed to do more than your capacity allows.

You won’t be asked to perform or prove progress.

You won’t be treated like clutter is a personal failure.

How These Groups Work

There is no single “right” way to get support with clutter.

Different people need different levels of:

  • Structure

  • Continuity

  • Skill-building

  • Emotional safety

So instead of one program, there are several support options, each with a different structure — and the same values.

You can start where you feel safest.

The Support Options

  • A monthly, open group for people who want support, normalization, and education without committing to a multi-week program.

    Best for:

    • Entry-level support

    • Feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin

    • Trying group support for the first time

    • Wanting support without urgency

    • Building sustainable change slowly

What All Groups Have in Common

No matter which option you choose, all groups share these foundations:

  • Small, professionally facilitated containers

  • Clear boundaries and expectations

  • Consent-based participation

  • No required photo sharing

  • No forced accountability

  • Emphasis on safety before productivity

These groups are supportive and educational.

They are not therapy, not crisis intervention, and not hoarding treatment.

If higher-level support is needed, referrals are offered with care and respect.

Not Sure Where to Start?

If you’re feeling torn between options, that’s not a problem — it’s information.

You can:

  • Join an interest list

  • Attend a Soft Start Open Support Hour

  • Use the “Which Support Fits Me?” guide

You don’t have to decide perfectly.

You just have to start somewhere that feels possible.
