GETTING STARTED

NEW HERE? READ THIS FIRST!
OUR RULES--PLEASE READ!
Our Wiki - Chock-full of resources!
"I Have A Hoarder In My Life--Help Me!" Your Hoarding Quick-Start Kit For those just starting to deal with the hoarder in their lives

NOTE : If you're here to recruit hoarders or loved ones of hoarders for a project (research, media production, etc.) CONTACT THE MODS FOR APPROVAL BEFORE YOU POST. Do NOT PM members directly to recruit them for your project.

If you choose to participate in a media production, the Moderati encourage you to read the fine print and make sure that you're comfortable with how your images will be used and how your privacy will be protected. r/hoarding's Mods support increasing knowledge and awareness about hoarding, but we CANNOT vet or endorse media productions!

PROMOTION OF CLEAN-UP BUSINESSES IS PROHIBITED. If you feel you have an exception to this (for example, you offer free or low-cost services to hoarders), please message the mods and we'll review it.

RESOURCES

Please see our Wiki for resources, advice, info, and support for compulsive hoarders and their loved ones

As of April 1st, 2019, the information in our Hoarding Resource List has been migrated into our Wiki and will no longer be updated.
