These options serve different needs and are not endorsements. The City of Sheridan and Sheridan County are separate governments; service eligibility and jurisdiction can vary by address. Call the linked organization to confirm current fit, location, cost, eligibility, and availability.
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 Sheridan 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
Call 911 for immediate physical danger, fire, or urgent medical emergencies. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988. Wyoming 211 is for resource navigation, not emergency response.
First conversations
You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you understand the landscape and identify a next step.
For support beyond grant-funded options, The Peer Tree offers private-pay help. Ask what kind of support fits your priorities and what it costs before deciding.
A private digital place to find peer support, practical tools, and ongoing momentum for people affected by clutter and for friends or family. You can use it at your own pace.
If you are unsure which office to call, Wyoming 211 can help look for local food, housing, health, and other community resources. Ask whether a listing is current and open to your situation.
Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 if someone is in immediate danger, there is a fire, or urgent medical help is needed. Do not wait for a routine appointment when an emergency is unfolding.
Call or text 988 to connect with a crisis counselor. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.

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