Workshop

| 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM |
| Room 204-205 |
Session Overview
Are you 'Hoarding Curious'? 'Clutter Collectors' got you down? Hoarding Disorder can be identified in almost every congregate living situation. Diagnosed more in older adults, stigma and isolation make hoarding especially challenging to treat. In partnership with the Seattle Housing Authority, our new and innovative program offers evidence-based interventions, not evictions. We will review the CREST protocol, and our successes and challenges as we walk you through what it’s like to implement a program in a large housing authority. We are 20 months in! Come learn about hoarding, older adults, and what tools might work to address the issue!
