A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Marysville, Kansas.

You can ask for support without first deciding what to keep, move, or change. Begin with what feels most urgent—safety, housing, food, health care, or a next conversation—and choose a step that respects the person's choices.

People first.Then the stuff.A Fight the Blight initiative

Start here - Fight the Blight

Choose a first conversation

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door; The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option; Unburied is digital peer support. These are different pathways, not clinical or emergency services. Ask about fit, cost, geography, consent, and availability before making a plan.

A people-first place to start when clutter or hoarding is affecting you or someone you care about. Ask about respectful next steps, virtual groups, and what support may fit. You do not have to agree to discard belongings to begin a conversation.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Marysville, Marshall County, or online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access, eligibility, and any costs; emergency limit: nonclinical peer support—not therapy, crisis response, or cleanup

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; Pawnee Mental Health also publishes crisis access for its service area. For domestic or sexual violence, SafeLine Kansas offers a free, confidential 24/7 connection to advocacy and shelter referral. These are distinct from emergency dispatch. This guide cannot assess a particular home or authorize entry, moving, or discarding belongings. Ask first and preserve the person's choice.
