Seminar
Hoarding doesn’t affect just the person who is hoarding, it impacts everyone in the house and very often, those that live around them. Neighbours can have infestations that come over from the hoarded home. There can be smells and damage that can endanger the person who lives on the other side of the wall. There are expenses to the community, regardless of when the problem is addressed. We will talk about all of these in this session.
This session will help delegates to understand:
