And never something to be ashamed of..🧸💛

We want to say a massive thank you to everybody that has supported us during the launch of our Hoarding Assessment Tool in Children’s Homes(H.A.T.C.H) this week, the response has been more than we could have ever imagined.

One of our biggest aims for H.A.T.C.H is to reinforce the importance of an empathetic, and humanised, approach when supporting families, helping practitioners to work collaboratively with the family to understand their needs and ensure that children have safe, supportive spaces to grow and thrive. The overwhelming, positive feedback already received gives us so much hope that it will be effective in achieving this💛🐣

If you have any queries or questions about using H.A.T.C.H, please feel free to send them through to education@holistic-hoarding.co.uk 💌

✨🐣 Just one week to go until our Hoarding Assessment Tool in Children’s Homes(HATCH) is released! 🐣✨

As we countdown to the launch happening on Monday 1st December, let’s celebrate Amy our Family Caseworker, who is the incredible mind and heart behind HATCH🌟

With over 15 years’ experience in healthcare, spanning autism, learning disabilities, elderly care, children and families, and mental health, Amy has a remarkable ability to connect with people of all ages, especially children.

She brings this expertise into her work with the families we support who are experiencing hoarding challenges, creating fun, age-appropriate sessions that help turn what could be a difficult journey into something positive and manageable, ensuring the children involved feel safe, understood and able to thrive💛

It’s this hands-on experience and deep understanding of families’ needs that inspired Amy to create the HATCH tool, which is designed to support practitioners and families in building safer, more nurturing home environments.

❗️ There are still a few spaces left at the free launch seminar happening on Monday 1st December at 1-2pm, where Amy, alongside our director Kayley, will give an insight into the impact of hoarding on children and purpose, structure and practical use of the HATCH tool🐥

Every day, we show up for others, but to do that sustainably, we must also show up for ourselves 🌿💚

Your wellbeing matters just as much as the people you support, and when you create space for rest, reflection, and renewal, you are able to show up clearer, calmer, and more grounded in your practice🧘🏼‍♀️

Introducing HATCH: Improving Safety for Children in Hoarded Homes🐣🏡

We are pleased to invite you to a free one-hour seminar to mark the release of the Hoarding Assessment Tool in Children’s Homes (HATCH), a free practical resource designed to support professionals in identifying when hoarding behaviours may be impacting children’s safety and wellbeing in the home.

Developed by our Family Case Worker, Amy Coulson, the HATCH tool offers a sensitive and accessible way to recognise early signs of risk, open supportive conversations and help ensure that children have safe and healthy spaces to grow.

During this session, you’ll hear from Amy and our director, Kayley Hyman, as they discuss:
* How hoarding can affect children’s daily life, safety, relationships and development.
* The purpose, structure and practical use of the HATCH tool.

Whether you are a social worker, early help practitioner, school staff member, housing professional, or anyone working with families, this seminar will offer helpful guidance, language, and approaches that prioritise care, dignity and child wellbeing.

Free to attend and open to all professionals interested in children’s safety and hoarding awareness.

We look forward to sharing HATCH with you 💚

BBC Breakfast feature on Hoarding Disorder 📺🗞️💚

Yesterday morning our director Kayley Hyman appeared on BBC Breakfast to continue the conversation around hoarding disorder being debated in UK Parliament for the very first time.

Following the success of the BBC News feature that ran earlier this year, which followed our partners Clouds End CIC as they first approached Paulette Hamilton MP for her support in establishing national guidelines to support, the House of Commons officially held their first ever debate centred around hoarding disorder on Wednesday 22nd October.

This has inevitably created a national discussion around what hoarding disorder really is, which Kayley was privileged to be able to provide information on, especially highlighting why redefining the outdated and harmful stereotypes around hoarding is crucial for implementing support that reflects its reality as a recognised mental health condition.

We are proud to be apart of this incredible industry, and take pride in standing alongside the individuals, organisations and communities who have worked tirelessly to see a national response in understanding the reality of hoarding disorder and the support it requires. We look forward to supporting the ongoing work needed to ensure long-lasting change! 💚

Letting go doesn’t have to mean losing something, it can mean giving it new life 🌱

As our Family Case Worker Amy drops off client donations to a local rethink + reuse centre, let’s take a look at some of the ways belongings can find a second home ♻️

It is important to remember that for those living with hoarding behaviours every item carries meaning, and every goodbye is personal. Being part of the decision about where each item finds its next home can bring a sense of control, dignity, and comfort, turning letting go into an empowering step forward.💚
