INVOLVEMENT PACK LAUNCHING SOONEmpathy in Action:
THE NEED FOR AWARENESSRaising awareness for hoarding disorder and behaviour is crucial because it helps break down stigma, promotes empathy, and encourages individuals to seek support without fear of judgment. Hoarding is often misunderstood as mere messiness or laziness, when in reality, it is a complex mental health condition that can severely impact a person’s well-being, relationships, and safety.
Increased awareness can lead to better access to resources, earlier intervention, and more effective treatment options. It also educates the wider community on how to approach loved ones struggling with hoarding in a compassionate and supportive way, fostering understanding and collective action to improve lives.
