"I will never go back to such a life": How to help the HO velvet in an innovative project | Psychological Health

Carol has been trying to clean up her home for two years, but in the vortex of her clothes and property of the property, she still has nowhere to sit-almost nothing to stand.

However, for her, things look great. She is glad to feel chaotic clothes, yellowed newspapers, cobblestone and countless bags in bags that are filled with other dust-fluttered bags. Now it is the waist-instead of shoulders-six months ago, these dangerous mountains shake The thick ceiling was swaying, brushed the thick ceiling, and the spider web was still hung on the damaged light accessories.

Carol had no fantasies about what happened. She said, "I am surrounded by trauma." "All these are the physical performance of the actual trauma I have suffered.

"I couldn't clean up these things before, because everything I touched re -triggered trauma. It tried to clearly eliminate tired things in spirit and body, and could not really realize it." She added.

In 2013, it was recognized as an independent mental health barrier (but still insufficient research) and was considered to affect 2.5 % to 6 % of the population. According to the recent Senate report, the consequences of debris, the aging society means that this number may increase.

"If this speed rises and continues to rise, we will face the great popularity of HO Ji," "Recently published about everything you need to understand.

HO accumulation is often the problem of life and death. In 2022, the London Fire Brigade participated in 1,036 fires related to HO -related HO, causing 186 people to be injured and 10 deaths. In Welsh, HO Jiji is responsible for nearly one -third of the death of fire.

When the HO accumulation causes people to trip, or the "avalanche" trapped in the "avalanche" property, the number of deaths and damage caused by is unlicensed, but experts say it is important.

Then, the influence of living in dirty people is: if you can't wash it, you can reach the refrigerator or cooking utensils, it is inevitable that it is inevitable, let alone the risk of pests.

The impact on family and children is also disturbing. It is said that Ho will run in the family. People think about 1 % of children have the accumulation of HO. Experts work hard to fully understand the complexity of this situation. The huge stigma around is not available. Drummond said: "Those HO -accumulated people are depicted into laziness, laziness and dirty." "HO Jiji is generally considered to be a choice of lifestyle."

Jane has been HO for decades, but every time I try to provide help, I will slip through the council's network. Shame is a large part of her participation. When she opened the front door, she could not stop a worker at the door of her house 18 months ago at the obscene graffiti.

It reads with a thick black pen: "Smelly."

But Jane does not scrub the insult. She said uncertainly, "This makes me unhappy, but must be there."

She added: "I don't want to think like this." She cleverly woven her way into the house through the empty box and dust.

On the way to the kitchen, she brushed a dirty plate with a box of Christmas handicraft kit. She said, "It has been two days." "I put it down because someone knocked on the doorbell. I want to pick it up, but ..." Her tail continued to the kitchen and left the plate in the original place.

Later, she inhabited the tangled bed-the only space sitting in a two-story house. She said, "I look at my house and feel desperate." "This house is exhausted in emotion, body and spirit. But I can't go away because there is something I need."

Local authorities have no legal obligations to help those who accumulate HOs, and the budget has extended thin thinness, so they should not do this. However, despite this, more and more councils are helping-and help high innovation, patience and obvious effective methods.

After two years of plans, the Gloster City Council launched the HO cure and support plan in April last year.

"We didn't waste a lot of money by dealing with this group by dealing with this group." Said Housing Regulations, Settlement and Project Manager James Dykes. "

"We have children who grew up in these houses. We have a large number of residents trapped in hospitals and nursing environments because they cannot return to unsafe houses. Our family is homeless. We have a house that we have cleaned up before, These houses are now as bad as before-with all risks of fire and invasion.

He said, "This is very expensive." "We must propose a whole new way to help the group appropriately."

Dykes brought national charities and HO accumulated in the United Kingdom to help formulate training officials in plans and training multiple institutions. It has created six supporting groups and set up a team that provides personalized psychological support for residents, organizes and improves the improvement of family safety.

The new team only needs to keep in touch with people: Carol has been with them for two years.

Surprisingly, the plan saved funds for the council.

Dix said: "It will cost £ 6,000 to send these men to wear a boiler set to forcibly clean up Carol's house, and she will only fill it up again." "However, by spending the same number in the same time, Money, we can see that Carol finally started to recover. "

The committee even persuaded Carol's landlord that they were making her homeless to re -use thousands of pounds they would spend on legal costs to receive Karor's one -on -one support.

The council without money can see a new way of HO.

The Birmingham Parliament went bankrupt in 2023, but they still worked closely with HEATHER MATUOLZZO, Director of Clouds End Cic to help the HO accumulator. Matuozzo was a consultant to Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and appeared in the two largest HO veterans in the UK. He operated three supporting groups in SoliHull and Birmingham.

She said: "I can only think of about six councils in the United Kingdom to help HO accumulate." "But what they do is very good."

Professor Salon Molin, a member of the HO -Jiji network and partnership, agreed. "Due to the lack of recognition and funds for HO, things have begun to change: our network includes more than 200 professionals from various departments. We are keen to spread consciousness and professional knowledge. Slowly, local authorities begin to listen."

For patients like Carol, Glosster's method is actually a lifeguard. She acknowledged: "I am on the edge of not here." "But because of this procedure, I cleaned three tons of paper from the front room. Then, I will start from the rest of the house. Will return to this life again. "
