A people-first place to begin when clutter or hoarding is affecting you or someone you care about. Ask about respectful next steps and virtual groups. You do not have to agree to discard belongings to start a conversation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Johnson County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access, fit, and any cost; emergency limit: nonclinical peer support—not therapy, crisis response, or cleanup
If someone is in immediate physical danger, call 911. For a mental-health crisis, call or text 988. Wyoming 211 is for resource navigation, not emergency response.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Buffalo, Wyoming, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
