About This Course

Hoarding disorder is an increasingly prevalent issue, particularly among older adults. It poses significant health risks and can lead to interpersonal difficulties and social isolation. This training will provide an in-depth exploration of hoarding disorder, beginning with a review of its diagnostic criteria and common behaviors and thought patterns associated with the condition. Special focus will be given to its prevalence and unique considerations in the older adult population.  Participants will gain an understanding of commonly used assessments to identify hoarding behaviors and treatment interventions proven effective in both the general and older adult populations. The training will also address co-occurring conditions, such as anxiety disorders, that are frequently present alongside compulsive hoarding.  Through this training, attendees will learn practical strategies, including therapeutic interventions and supportive techniques, to help individuals with hoarding disorder achieve treatment goals.  Additional focus will be given to understanding the reasons behind hoarding, its impact on quality of life, and ways to provide meaningful assistance and support.

Learning Objectives: 

• Describe how hoarding disorder is defined and diagnosed, including its common features.
• Explain how hoarding disorder presents in older adults and summarize its prevalence.
• Identify and compare evidence-based interventions for treating hoarding disorder in older adults and other populations.
