Chronic Disorganization is something every organizer is exposed to sooner or later—and it’s commonly sooner. In this class you’ll learn about CD. What is it? What isn’t it? What factors influence CD? What are some signs a prospective client may struggle with CD? What should you do if you walk into a client’s home and there appear to be serious CD issues? Are you the right fit for this type of work? Debra Frank and Kim Anker-Paddon, two long time experts in the field of Chronic Disorganization, will introduce the basics as well as present case studies from their experiences as professional organizers.

Participants will be able to:

* Define CD (Chronic Disorganization)
* Become familiar with some of the causes of CD
* Understand the concept of Do No Harm
* Develop a plan to obtain the skills and education to serve the CD population.

This two-hour workshop will help you gain a better understanding of Chronic Disorganization.
