Self-Neglect and Compulsive Hoarding at Wolverhampton Council
I’ve been delivering the compulsive hoarding course now for a couple of years and as I am sure you are aware, I’ve reflected and updated the activities and the case studies as I’ve gone along. On Tuesday, I delivered the brand-new version of the course, which takes on-board feedback from customers who have overcome their compulsion to hoard. Truly inspiring people who have been helped by workers in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire and now want to spread the message to all, as Hilda said, ‘you CAN change and it IS possible to overcome the compulsion to actively acquire and keep hold of the whole lot. Not everything that you hold dear is actually treasure.’
The staff from Wolverhampton City Council were exceptional.
Feedback from the learners was 100% positive, here is an example of the testimonials I received:
