The Peer Tree
Offers peer support, family guidance, groups, and practical organizing-related help. Ask whether a specific service can be provided in Indiana and what it costs.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You do not have to solve everything at once. Start with what would make daily life a little safer or easier, then choose one manageable next step. Warsaw is the county seat, but a city service, countywide service, and regional provider may each have different boundaries.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a respectful conversation and virtual peer groups. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option. Unburied offers digital peer support, not therapy or emergency help. Bowen Health lists emotional-health care in Warsaw; ask directly about intake, insurance, fees, and fit. No local hoarding-specialty clinician or specialized cleanup provider was verified for this guide.
For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional distress or a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988; Indiana says the line is available 24/7. For domestic or sexual violence, The Beaman Home lists a 24-hour crisis hotline. Shelter, crisis stabilization, and other services depend on intake and availability; call providers directly. This guide does not promise treatment, a cleanup, transportation, food, shelter, or an open program.

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.

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