Hoarding Specialists

Co-Leaders: Leslie Hatch Gail, PhD; Annie Amoon Richard

The Hoarding SIG is for organizers and related professionals who are experienced in helping people remediate and recover from hoarding behaviors. Participants must have a minimum of 2 years experience working with this population OR 1 year of experience if they also hold an ICD Level I certificate of study in Hoarding Issues or other relevant coursework. In addition, a minimum of 25% of an applicant's client base must be hoarding-specific.

We are a diverse group of professionals who work together to brainstorm solutions to unique situations, discuss current research and best practices for clients who hoard, emphasize the importance of self-care and boundary-setting, and collaboratively share ideas and effective strategies for working with this segment of the population.

Meeting Details:

7 regular meetings (no meeting July, August, December)
