HOARDING SUPPORT

Hoarding.support is a website of information and advice about hoarding and helping hoarders.

Thank you for visiting Hoarding Support: Having lived with my Mum's chronic hoarding problems through much of my life, felt ashamed and isolated. When mum bravely agreed to appear in the BBC1 documentaries, My Hoarder Mum and Me and Britain's Biggest Hoarders, thousands of people reached out to me, and all of a sudden we are no longer alone.

Understanding that there were potentially millions of other people living with this secret was both empowering and overwhelming. I felt I could finally share my experiences, but wanted more than that. I wanted to help others and so hoarding.support was born.

The purpose of the site is to provide information, support and advice for people who hoard and their loved ones. To create awareness about this secretive condition. I don't claim to have a cure, but I hope that with the resources available here, and the wonderfully supportive community that has built over the years, hoarding will become better understood by both sufferers and the people around them, as well as medical professionals, and the general public.

Please browse  the site, read the message board, and if you would like to contribute your own experiences, please register in confidence and join our online community of hope and understanding.

We can help with:

• Understanding What is Hoarding?
• Self Help
• Top Tips
• Help and Support for Family & Friends
• Share your experience
• Online forum

I hope you find the information and support you need here, especially within the "safe space" of our member's forum, thanks to our wonderful, virtual community. Together we will continue to raise awareness and de-stigmatise hoarding, and support one another in any way we can.
