Description

Join hoarding disorder expert Anne B. Pagano, LCSW, ACSW, BCD, C-ASWCM for comprehensive live webcast and learn about hoarding disorder as a complex mental health condition in which the pathological attachment to possessions is often more important to the hoarding individual than human relationships.

 

This program is designed for introductory and intermediate level social workers and case managers who practice counseling and/or direct case work with people with mental health issues. 

 

Learn proven strategies and techniques derived from evidence based research to help understand the mental health roots of hoarding disorder, what defines hoarding disorder from other behaviors and diagnoses, develop awareness of clinical treatment and harm reduction approaches, and how to help clients cope with the emotional, relational, and environmental impacts related to this chronic condition.

 

Please join us for this live interactive program which will cover the following topics:

  • Distinction between clutter, chronic disorganization and hoarding
  • The DSMV criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis of hoarding disorder
  • What and why people hoard
  • Distress caused by compulsive hoarding
  • Review of hoarding assessment tools
  • Development of harm reduction plans of care
  • Reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
  • Clinical treatment modalities

Objective #2 Assess and identify if a client fits the DSM-V clinical qualifiers for a diagnosis of hoarding disorder.
Objective #3 Identify a clinical intervention approach for persons with hoarding disorder utilizing research supported therapeutic modalities.
