Helping a Family Member with Hoarding Disorder

If you have a family member with hoarding disorder who does not want help, focus on tasks like doing the dishes or laundry that are tangible ways to offer assistance without discussing the underlying issue. By helping with non-clutter related tasks, you may open up opportunities to help with the clutter in the future. Start with unarguable tasks that need to be done, like the dishes or laundry, to make a tangible impact while being non-confrontational.
