Peer Support for Children of Hoarders (COHP)

Find calm and confidence even if you have
a mother (or father) who’s a hoarder

Are you…

  • Tired of sleepless nights waiting for “THE CALL” that forces you to intervene in your parent’s hoarding?

 

  • Wondering what intervention will cost you–financially, physically, and emotionally–and whether it’s worth all that?
  • Dreading the conversations you need to have with your parent who hoards (PWH) and also unsure how to tell others so that you can get your own support?

  • Overwhelmed and angered by comments from others who don’t get it and think you can just go in and “clean it all up”?

Help is available from someone who’s been there and has created a free guide to help you navigate having a PWH.

My mother’s hoarding was my biggest secret and greatest burden. I know what it feels like to wait for “that call” and the challenges that arise when intervening in a parent’s mental health issues. More than that, I’ve found peace and love the opportunity to help other COH become thriving survivors.

Helping others like me since 2011.

Parents Who Hoard Workbook

Download the FREE workbook for pre-planning intervention with a PWH. It’s what I wished I’d had when I got “that call.”

Schedule a Consultation

Family consultation is an opportunity to collaborate and learn from a hoarding specialist while coming up with a plan for your unique situation.

A peer-facilitated group for adult children run by someone who’s been there and survived to create a safe space for our experiences and our healing.

Having worked with Ceci on the initial board of a grassroots group called Children of Hoarders to bring awareness and understanding of this illness and its effect upon the families of hoarders to the public's attention, her input was often much more compassionate and empathetic than others in the group and this helped brings us back to center. I highly recommend Ceci as a helper to families struggling with the mental illness known as hoarding disorder.

Whitney McMahan, COH supporter

Ceci's concern for those she works to serve, the wellbeing of those who hoard, and her dedication to social justice, lifelong learning and ending oppression is evidence in each contact and endeavor she undertakes.

Terri Hamrick, BSW, COH Boardmember

We need the support from people like Ceci to let children of hoarders know that they are not alone. There are millions of children who walk the same path. Ceci lets them know that there is no shame in being the child of a hoarder.
