Hoarding Support Groups

Mutual support groups whose members are individuals who have difficulty controlling their compulsion to acquire possessions which clutter their living space creating a squalid environment, sometimes blocking exits, creating a fire hazard and putting them at risk for eviction. The groups meet in-person, by telephone or via the Internet, and provide emotional support, information and resources to help participants discard items they do not need, organize the possessions they wish to keep and, in general, bring order to their lives.
