A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
When clutter, housing concerns, or a difficult decision is weighing on you or someone you care about, you do not have to begin with a cleanout. A first step can be a respectful conversation about what matters most, what feels urgent, and what choices should stay with the person affected.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit entry point for hoarding-related support and virtual groups. No local hoarding-specialty clinician, hoarding-specific peer group, or independent hoarding cleanout provider was verified for this guide. The behavioral-health, peer, housing, and community services below are not presented as hoarding specialists. Ask about Dyer County coverage, fit, cost, eligibility, intake, and timing before making plans.
Fight the Blight offers a respectful first conversation and virtual support groups for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns. Ask what is currently available and what may fit your situation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group entry point; geography: ask about Dyer County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm group fit, schedule, and availability; emergency limit: not therapy or emergency response.
If anyone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988; Tennessee offers 24/7 crisis support. This guide is informational and is not clinical, legal, emergency, or government advice.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Dyersburg, Tennessee, 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.
