Level 5 Hoarding -- It’s Manageable!

Do you know what it takes to manage the "unmanageable"?  Come learn from our very own NAPO Michigan members how to successfully tackle large-scale hoarding jobs. 

Topics will include:

• An overview of hoarding disorder 

• The ICD Clutter-Hoarding Scale 

• Managing a team 

• Meeting client expectations 

• Safety precautions  

• Pitfalls to avoid 

You can expect to learn what it takes to be a part of a large, multiple-member team on hoarding jobs, understand more about hoarding disorder, how to be prepared and why it’s important to pass these jobs off to those who have the right skills. You can also expect to leave feeling like you don't need to say no to jobs that are out of your area of expertise knowing you can call in other organizers with the right skills to help.


About Our Presenters


Leigh MacCready is the owner of Re-Nest LLC, a business that specializes in organizing, downsizing and space planning clients’ living spaces so they are more functional and attractive. She is a shopper and collector but doesn't like her hobbies to take control. Leigh believes that as your lifestyle changes your nest needs to change right along with it. She calls this re-nesting. Leigh is an active member and current president of NAPO Michigan. When she is presented with a challenge beyond her skills, she calls in the Michigan Chapter for help...which resulted in her working in a Level 5 hoard.
