   How to Actually Help Someone With Hoarding Disorder

   Most people who try to help someone with hoarding disorder accidentally make it worse — forced cleanouts break trust, and the clutter comes back. In this video, Certified Peer Specialist Matt Williams shares the approaches that actually work: how to talk about the clutter without a fight, how to set boundaries without guilt, and how to support real change at a pace the person can handle. These are the same techniques taught in the Unburied Supporter Circle — a 12-session peer-support program for people who care about someone with hoarding disorder. The first cohort starts December 3, 2026. 👉 Learn more / enroll: https://www.fighttheblightinc.com/supporter-circle/ About Matt Matt Williams, CPS is a speaker, the author of Purpose Through Pain, and founder of Fight the Blight Inc., a nonprofit supporting people affected by hoarding disorder.

   Open Chair: My Name Is June

   In this fictional Open Chair dramatization, June talks about a dining table covered by art supplies, unfinished projects, and plans for an imagined future self. The conversation turns toward a smaller, more honest kind of creativity: making room for the life that is already happening. This is a fictional dramatization, not a recording from a real support group and not affiliated with any fellowship or organization. It is peer-informed education, not therapy, diagnosis, or emergency support.
