May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we are closing out the month with a workshop focused on a challenging issue often encountered in property management: hoarding. This training provides a clear and compassionate introduction to hoarding disorder, helping staff better understand what hoarding is, why it occurs, and the complex factors that contribute to it. The session emphasizes recognizing individuals who may be at risk and responding with care, empathy, and respect.
Please make plans to join us this Thursday, May 28, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET (10:00 AM – 11:00 AM CT) via Microsoft Teams for this training opportunity.
What You’ll Explore
- What hoarding disorder is and how it differs from clutter or collecting
- Why people hoard objects and what purpose those items may serve
- Psychological, emotional, and environmental factors that contribute to the disorder
- How to identify individuals who may be at risk and respond with care and compassion
The session will begin with a presentation, followed by a moderated Q&A where attendees are encouraged to ask questions and share reflections.
