Identify a range of screening and assessment tools for hoarding behaviours and squalor.
Appreciate the inherent risks of hoarding and squalor environments and apply appropriate risk mitigation and management strategies to their practice.
Identify, understand, and apply a range of brief interventions to support hoarding behaviours, including realistic intervention planning and respectful decluttering.
Participants will also learn skills to support emotionally dysregulated clients.

Participants will be provided with comprehensive digitised resources and offered the opportunity to problem-solve challenging presentations in practice.
