Senior's Hoarding
As with many aspects of human behavior, the more we learn the more we realize we don't know! This is certainly true with the complicated behavior of hoarders. Sandy Silva, executive director of the Foundation on Aging, talk about hoarding. She will share the research and anecdotal experiences of Dr. Randy Frost, co-author of "Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving and Hoarding".

Not only does the accumulation of "stuff" impact the life of the hoarder, but also the lives of family and friends, sometimes becoming so extreme as to create health and safety issues.
