The aim of this hoarding awareness course is to raise awareness and will therefore explore hoarding in depth. You will gain a strong background of knowledge of hoarding to help increase your understanding, which involves looking at the origins of hoarding, as well as focusing on why people hoard, what they hoard, and who this disorder affects.
