Worried that your parent is on a collision course with disaster due to hoarding?
Jumping to help without considering the many pitfalls of a family-based intervention rarely helps anyone. Yet there isn't a family-based guide to hoarding intervention...UNTIL NOW.
Inside the workbook
Hoarding issues within families are rarely cookie-cutter. This 28-page workbook is designed to help you think through the various challenges of helping a Parent Who Hoards (PWH), as well as the personal costs to the adult child, their partners, children, and others affected.
This workbook empowers YOU to make decisions that prioritize your health and wellbeing over the complex needs of the PWH.
Topics covered include:
-
The current situation
-
Who is already involved (and who else might need to be included)
-
Evaluation of relationships
-
Identification of significant health/safety risks
-
Evaluation of your responsibilities in your own life
-
Financial, emotional, and energy costs associated with intervention
Intervening at the cost of your own well-being doesn't help anyone. This workbook will help you pre-plan before a crisis strikes, yet is straightforward enough to help in the midst of one as well.
I'm Ceci, an adult child with a PWH and a clinical social worker who specializes in hoarding
Over 15 years ago, I got the call I'd been dreading for decades: my mother's hoarding had reached crisis levels and she nearly died in her home. As an only child, I did what "good children" do without a guide, without the advice of others who'd been there. I survived, but it was hard, and I vowed to create something for others like me so they'd be spared some of the pain and doubt I experienced in that season. This FREE workbook is just part of the support I offer to my siblings in the hoard.
