Foundations of Hoarding Disorder and Introduction to Harm Reduction for Severe Hoarding Situations

    Hoarding Disorder is a unique psychiatric condition that has long been misunderstood, undiagnosed, and untreated. People who hoard most often do not reach out for help. Over time, they may become socially isolated and lose their ability to function in daily life.  Their unwillingness to part with possessions, even those perceived by others as having no value, can try the patience of friends and family members. Frustration also abounds in neighborhoods and communities forced to deal with a hoarding problem. In this introductory session, participants will learn the background information on Hoarding Disorder, the mental health and public safety issues related to hoarding behaviors, how to assess and treat using a harm reduction approach.

Week 2: Friday, January 18th, 2019- 10:00am-11:30am PST
