Children’s Mental Health Week may have been last week but supporting children’s safety and wellbeing is something we should focus on every week💚

Hoarding behaviours in the home can sometimes affect a child’s safety, comfort, and emotional wellbeing. That’s why we developed H.A.T.C.H: The Hoarding Assessment Tool in Children’s Homes.

HATCH is a free, practical resource designed to help professionals and families work together to:
-Recognise when hoarding behaviours may impact children
-Encourage supportive, respectful conversations
-Create safe, nurturing home environments where children can thrive

Developed in partnership with parents and practitioners, HATCH focuses on understanding, not judging, ensuring that children feel safe, supported and able to flourish🐣

We want to shine a light on this incredible piece of work that was recently published by our industry colleague Linda Fay, director of Hoarding Academy, and Kate Parsons, lecturer at Aberystwyth University 👏✨

Exploring Hoarding Disorder and the urgent need for a compassionate, evidence-based shift in how services respond to complex needs, the publication highlights the importance of moving from crisis-led, reactive approaches towards collaborative, preventative and person-centred support through trans-disciplinary working.

We are also truly honoured to have our H.A.T.C.H tool recognised and referenced as a component for successful intervention within this important publication🐣

It is an incredibly valuable and thought-provoking piece for professionals working across health, housing, social care and wider support services, we highly recommend taking the time to give it a read.

Effective and compassionate support for people living with hoarding disorder relies on high-quality, evidence-informed education, ensuring everyone involved in a client’s journey can respond safely, ethically and with empathy. During our visit, we had the chance to share our insights, advocate for consistent and collaborative support and highlight the importance of trauma-informed, person-centred approaches.

We are proud to continue working alongside dedicated professionals, organisations and advocates to raise awareness, improve training and create a supportive, informed system for everyone affected by hoarding. Clouds End CIC Hoarding Disorders UK CIC HoardingUK 💚

Our Ethos🌿💚

With 2026 set to be our biggest year yet, we thought it was a good time to highlight the principles that always have been, and always will be, at the foundation of everything we do.

Holistic Hoarding was established after observing the impact of house clearances on tenants, and how this often led to increased distress and more severe hoarding behaviour as a protective reaction to the process. Our ethos was developed with the intention of challenging this, to promote meaningful, supportive and sustainable outcomes becoming the norm for all individuals and families experiencing hoarding challenges.

We are very proud of everything we have achieved over the last seven years, and are incredibly grateful the opportunities being presented to us to take them even further this year. Starting tomorrow.. when we will be casually popping to visit UK Parliament to advocate for national hoarding support guidelines📣🤩

Hoarding behaviours are often shaped by trauma, loss, and lived experience, so when support focuses only on risk or compliance, it can often unintentionally increase distress and leave people more vulnerable 😓

A trauma-informed approach recognises that behaviours develop for a reason and that effective support must protect safety while also preserving dignity, trust and emotional wellbeing. It allows practitioners to work in ways that reduce harm and support lasting change, rather than repeating crisis-led interventions.

Our upcoming CPD Accredited Trauma-Informed Approaches to Hoarding Behaviours training covers:

🌿Hoarding behaviour in a holistic and therapeutic context.
🌿Alternatives to house clearances and eviction.
🌿What a trauma informed approach is and the part it plays in attaining positive, long-term results.
🌿How to implement a trauma-informed strategy into professional practice when supporting clients.

If you are interested in taking part, it is online on Friday 30th January 10am - 1pm and tickets are available here: https://holistic-hoarding.co.uk/trauma-informed-approaches/

PSA.. there’s no need to sprint into the new year🐢💚

You don’t need to have everything figured out, set endless goals or suddenly become a morning person just because it’s January. If you’ve managed to feed yourself something other than chocolate and put on clothes that aren’t pyjamas, congratulations, you’re already crushing it🐸🌟
