Hoarding is a complex community problem, requiring skilled practitioners to employ a fresh perspective for effective long term results. Hoarding Home Solutions is a practical approach to this complex problem. It was developed to bridge the gap between hoarding research and practical application with clients.
Nikki from Makings of Home has demonstrated a commitment to her professional development by completing the Hoarding Home Solutions for Independent Service Providers online training program. Graduates have gained the knowledge, skills and practical strategies to bring about change in a hoarded home with confidence and compassion.
Nikki says “After I finishing the Hoarding Home Solutions course I felt confident that I have the tools to assess the environment and bring the best solution to my clients. I now provide in-home support to people whose home environment requires simplification and a greater focus on safety and function. I want my clients to be able to comfortably undertake all the activities they would like to in their home.”
It’s common to be overwhelmed by our possessions and the cycle of maintaining our home. Makings of Home support clients to evaluate their belongings.
