As Children's Mental Health Week concludes, we highlight the significant effects of hoarding on children's well-being.

Living in cluttered environments can be stressful and impact their safety and ability to thrive.

Our specialist family caseworker, Amy, offers compassionate support to families dealing with hoarding. She collaborates with parents to address the root causes, creates personalised action plans, provides emotional guidance, and connects families with local resources.

Together, we can ensure that children in hoarded homes feel supported and valued. If you or someone you know needs assistance with hoarding, please reach out for help.

Kayley Hyman, director of Holistic Hoarding, is an expert in her field and is the pioneer in holistic approaches to supporting individuals with hoarding disorder, her bespoke CPD training session is developed from her personal experiences working with clients day in day out 🤍

The behaviour of hoarding is often a way of coping with and trying to heal distress & trauma caused by experiences the individual has gone through, Kayley will help you understand the link between Trauma and Hoarding Behaviour and how you can best support clients without triggering re-traumatisation.

There are a final few spaces remaining for the next session taking place next Friday 17th January, running virtually on zoom from 9.30am - 4pm.

Individually, all of these lovely items represent different memories and meanings. They each tell stories of who bought them and where they came from - a huggable history through the ages.

And then together... they make up The Support Army,🧸 a concept created by one of our wonderful clients, who is exploring the benefits of body doubling for those with ADHD.

This calming, productivity-enhancing technique can be just as effective whether your body double is a friend, family member, or a team of cuddly Christmas helpers. They all provide comfort, motivation and accountability as we take on the more mundane or difficult tasks that we've been putting off.

We just need to train the elves to do the dishes, and we'll have the perfect helpers! 🪄

🌟 Last week, we had an incredible experience in Edinburgh attending the Knowledge Café on Community Responses to Hoarding, brilliantly hosted by Linda Fay! 🏰✨ It was a sunny day filled with collaborative learning, thanks to our sponsors: the Hoarding Academy and the UBC Centre for Collaborative Research on Hoarding.

We were thrilled to meet Dr. Christiana Bratiotis and Dr. Sheila Woody, who introduced us to the innovative Home Environment Assessment Tool for Hoarding (HEATH). 🛠️ This powerful new tool will aid us in identifying and prioritising health and safety issues in hoarded homes.

Connecting with dedicated colleagues in the hoarding community and compassionate advocates in the housing industry made this trip truly rewarding. Together, we’re committed to helping and supporting those who struggle with hoarding. 💙

Let’s continue to share ideas and work collaboratively towards positive change!
