Start with a human conversation

You do not have to solve everything at once. Start with the pathway that best matches the situation, then confirm current availability, boundaries, cost, and travel before relying on any program.

Ask what a first conversation would cover or how a virtual group works. You can ask without sending photos or arranging a home visit.

Role: nonprofit front door for hoarding support and virtual groups; geography: ask about joining online from Parker or elsewhere in La Paz County; cost/eligibility: confirm registration, group fit, and any fees; funded local home services are not assumed; emergency limit: not therapy or emergency response.

For immediate danger

If there is immediate danger, smoke or fire, a medical emergency, or someone cannot safely exit, call 911. For a mental-health crisis or thoughts of suicide, call or text 988. These emergency pathways are not general cleanup or service-navigation lines.

We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
