The Hoarding Disorder Symposium is a full day training opportunity for
human service professionals. The symposium presents harm reduction as an
alternative to treatment for hoarding disorder. Harm reduction assumes that it
is not necessary to stop all compulsive acquiring or to clear homes completely
in order to reduce the risk of harm and improve the health, safety, and
comfort of persons who hoard. The workshop presents the essential features
of the harm reduction process applied to the problem of severe hoarding. The
workshop will describe strategies for engaging the client in the harm
reduction process, building and facilitating the harm reduction team,
assessing harm potential, and developing and managing a harm reduction
plan.

Registration is required. No walk-ins will be accepted.
