A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Manti, Utah.

You can ask for support without agreeing to sort, discard, or clean anything today. Start with what matters most to you: feeling safer, keeping housing, finding a respectful conversation, or getting through this week.

Choose the kind of support that feels useful

Begin with a nonprofit conversation, private-pay support, or digital peer support. These are separate organizations; ask about fit, location, cost, consent, and availability before making a plan.

A respectful place to ask about hoarding-related support, virtual groups, and next steps. Share only what feels comfortable; asking for support does not require agreeing to a cleanup plan.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about options for Manti, Sanpete County, or online; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access and any costs; emergency limit: not therapy, clinical care, or emergency response

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988 for free, confidential support. Sanpete Valley Hospital in Mount Pleasant lists 24/7 hospital access; call 911 for urgent medical response. For domestic-violence support, Utah's LINKLine and New Horizons Crisis Center serve Sanpete County; use a safe device and contact an advocate to ask about current options. Routine counseling, housing applications, food distribution, peer support, and cleanup planning are not emergency response.
