Professional Certification Course – Live, Online
The Center for Hoarding is focused on offering quality online training for professionals who, through their line of work, come across hoarding cases. To increase access to professional training (often limited by location, agency association, timing, and cost) we offer professionals a live, online 12-part Professional Certification & Continuing Education Program. Our program offers an in-depth, structured curriculum that blends foundational knowledge with practical strategies. Participants learn directly from top experts in real time, with practical, evidence-based strategies. Our Professional Certification Program equips key agency staff and community professionals with the knowledge, tools, ongoing education and support needed to effectively respond to hoarding cases.
Our Professional Certification Program is the ONLY hoarding certification that combines comprehensive training with continuing education and professional support!

Peer Support for Individuals
There is no shortage of information available online about issues with clutter and hoarding behavior. However, we find that the information can be overwhelming, is often contradictory, and rarely takes into consideration mental health, processing issues, or trauma and loss. We know that your best opportunity for support and success comes from having the ability to connect with and work alongside others that share your experiences.
