Looking to reevaluate and downsize your treasured heirlooms and other possessions, but don’t know how to begin? Learn how to assess items, ask the right questions, and understand the different options you have as you decide what to keep and what to let go.

Attendees will:

• Learn how to complete a comprehensive collections assessment so they can be in control of what they have.
• Understand the logistics and resources needed to properly care for a variety of items.
• Explore the many options that are available as they prepare to downsize, and approach them in a way that is both comfortable and acceptable to them and their needs.

This workshop also comes with a specialized resource guide that is made available to all attendees.
