Today we pick the brains of the beautiful Tamara from Adelaide Hills Counselling & Consultancy about hoarding and squalor.  Tamara is accredited Social Worker with the AASW and has worked in the aged care sector for 8 years. 

We talk about:

• the difference between 'clutter' and hoarding or squalor, including the mental illnesses that sit behind the behaviour
• the risks associated with hoarding and squalor
• various supports and strategies available for assisting individuals to work through their mental illness

For some families this can be an incredibly challenging and sometimes frustrating topic to try navigate with a loved one and Tamara talks us through how to do this in a sensitive and caring manner.

If you want to contact Tamara for any additional information or for assistance with finding your loved one a residential placement, please contact her via the details below:
