Live Virtual Workforce Development for Agency & Community Partners

Strengthening Workforce Capacity.
Building Sustainable Community Response.

Our Agency & Community Workforce Development Programs equip organizations with the knowledge, practical tools,
and collaborative strategies needed to improve multidisciplinary responses to hoarding and excessive clutter.
Participants build a shared framework for communication, coordination, and intervention while gaining access to
continued learning and professional development opportunities beyond the training.

The Professional Certificate in Community Hoarding Intervention prepares key agency staff and community partners to lead and coordinate hoarding intervention efforts through advanced education, practical tools, TEAM Case Consultation opportunities, and 12 months of continuing education and professional support.

However, successful community outcomes rarely depend on one individual alone.

Sustainable community responses require knowledgeable supervisors, engaged leadership, informed frontline staff, and strong collaboration among the agencies and community partners responding to hoarding and excessive clutter.

To support that broader need, the Center for Hoarding offers Live Virtual Agency & Community Workforce Development Programs.

These workforce development programs provide agencies, departments, and community partners with a shared understanding of hoarding disorder, trauma-informed engagement, harm reduction, risk reduction, and collaborative community response. Participants gain practical, evidence-informed strategies that strengthen communication, clarify roles and responsibilities, improve coordination across organizations, and build the capacity needed to respond more effectively to complex hoarding situations.

Participants who complete Hoarding: Identifying, Assessing, Addressing earn a Certificate in Community Hoarding Response and receive 90 days of complimentary access to the Continuing Education & Professional Support Program, extending learning beyond the training through advanced courses, 6 TEAM Case Consultation opportunities, expert guidance, and ongoing professional support.

Participants who complete Hoarding: Developing Sustainable Networks, Teams & Community Partnerships receive a Certificate of Completion for that training.

Together, the Professional Certificate in Community Hoarding Intervention, the Certificate in Community Hoarding Response, and the Continuing Education & Professional Support Program create a common framework and shared language that helps communities move beyond crisis response toward coordinated, sustainable intervention.

While the Professional Certificate in Community Hoarding Intervention is strongly recommended for key staff responsible for leading hoarding intervention efforts, participation in the Professional Certificate Program is not required to schedule an Agency & Community Workforce Development Program. Organizations may choose workforce development training as a standalone option or combine it with the Professional Certificate Program to build both individual expertise and organizational capacity.

Our Agency & Community Workforce Development Programs are led by a team of experts in hoarding intervention and community response. The same subject matter experts who teach our Professional Certificate in Community Hoarding Intervention also deliver workforce development training, bringing specialized expertise in assessment, trauma-informed engagement, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, housing stability, case coordination, and multidisciplinary community response.

With decades of combined experience working with individuals, families, agencies, and communities affected by hoarding and excessive clutter, our training team combines evidence-informed instruction with practical real-world application. Participants leave with strategies and tools that can be immediately implemented to strengthen communication, improve collaboration, and build more effective community responses.
