The hoarding training was so informative and such a pleasure to attend. While the subject was difficult it was delivered so wonderfully by Kayley. She was a truly exceptional trainer, and I have already recommended the training to friends who work in homeless services and other supportive roles. Thank you to the CIH for platforming this very important issue.
