OBJECTIVES

hoarding academy is committed to creating innovational and inspirational training experiences that meet learners where they are - whether that’s helping them to understand the psychology of hoarding, upskilling seasoned professionals, or helping to drive systematic change.

hoarding academy exists to bridge the gap between theory and practice through a research-based curriculum delivered by a qualified and experienced hoarding specialist practitioner.

Hoarding is complex - we help to make it better understood and more manageable.

There are no quick fixes, but there are better ways of working.

By offering training and resources we help professionals to respond more effectively, ethically, and compassionately to hoarding.
