I spoke yesterday at the Los Angeles Hoarding Forum: Hoarding Forum 2012 “People Hoarding Animals and Things; Is it Capacity, Mental Illness or Life Style?”
 which was sponsored by the Department of Mental Health and Genesis.  It was an incredible experience meeting people from a broad range of backgrounds all coming together to discuss hoarding.  

At the Forum, participants were given a handout to fill after discussion in small groups.  I will review the answers and provide a summary of responses regarding the roles of different agencies in animal hoarding cases and the approach to therapy, in the following weeks.  Stay tuned for details to come! 

I've been traveling for the past two months now, speaking here and there on Animal Hoarding.  Seems to be the hot new topic!  
The latest talk will be this coming Tuesday in Los Angeles on the Multidisciplinary Approach to Animal Hoarding at the California Endowment Center on June 26th.  I am sure there will be a lot to post after that talk.
