Trapped and Drowning in my Things
This course was co-designed and created with customers to give their view of compulsive hoarding and how they overcame their issues which led them to hoard.
Aim: of the session is for you to identify and respond to hoarding behaviour, ensuring that a multi-agency approach is developed to ensure that each hoarding case can be dealt with in an effective and co-ordinated way.

- Described the characteristics of somebody with hoarding compulsion

- Demonstrated how to successfully use the clutter rating scale
- Explored ambivalence, intervention, sustain talk, procrastination and support measures
