IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE A LIFE LESS CLUTTERED,
THE FIRST STEP IS YOURS.
Inside Out Recovery is a specialist intervention service supporting people who live in excessive clutter and may not be able to use the rooms in their home for their intended use. We provide a research-based, wrap-around care model to help people achieve their recovery goals, with intervention delivered in a person's home.
We do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and we provide 'hands-on’ practical, and therapy-focused one-on-one support.
The Inside Out Recovery team will work with the person to develop a plan to implement change and achieve recovery goals.
At Inside Out Recovery, we utilise a three-pronged approach:
(1) in-home intervention,
(2) training for frontline workers, and
(3) facilitating consumer support groups.
Our team provides personalised recovery plans tailored to meet individual needs and help clients achieve their recovery goals. This may include counseling, Psychosocial Declutter Coaching, and other relevant supports aimed at uncovering the reasons behind their hoarding and managing clutter effectively.
Depending on the clients needs, the duration of the support we provide is established in consultation with the client. However, this can look very different for each person, depending on funding and clutter situation. Everyone is different.
We also collaborate with existing support networks or, if no services are in place, assist clients in exploring options and connecting with helpful resources for their recovery.
Professional development training for the sector is crucial in understanding how to support individuals with Hoarding Disorder. This training equips workers with the knowledge and skills needed to engage effectively and compassionately, avoiding re-traumatisation.
Our support groups allow consumers to connect with others facing similar challenges. These groups provide a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental environment to explore strategies for overcoming hoarding and foster meaningful change, relationships and letting people know they are not alone.
