A wide evidence base shows us that interventions need to be broader than just individually focused, and should be addressing the needs of carers, services, and the wider community.  

Supportive friends and families trying to encourage their loved ones to ‘declutter’ and dispose of items with well-meaning interventions can often unintentionally make the process worse, and lead to further distress or increased hoarding in the individual.  We will be setting up a family support group to help those who may be affected by this issue.
