Register Here for the Free OCD Awareness Week Event in Costa Mesa, CA!
OCD Awareness Week is every second full week of October and it is a week focusing on spreading OCD awareness through educational and community events. This year, OCD Awareness Week 2024 is from Sunday, October 13 to Saturday, October 19.
We are hosting an in-person event in Orange County to celebrate awareness week on Saturday, October 19th, from 1pm to 5pm PST. The event will be held at the Costa Mesa Marriott in Costa Mesa, CA, near South Coast Plaza. This free event will include a light snack, beverages, and free parking. The event will include presentations on OCD and related disorders from local, OCD experts, and include an in person OCD support group led by licensed clinicians.
The event will open with a welcome from members of the OCD Southern California Board of Directors and then local OCD experts will present on relevant topics for people with OCD, and family members, loved ones, and romantic partners of someone diagnosed with OCD.
After the talks conclude, we will then transition into support groups. There will be a support group for people with OCD, another group for family members and loved ones of someone with the disorder, and a separate support group for romantic partners of a person diagnosed with OCD. Each support group will be led by a licensed therapist and offer attendees a chance to share, receive support, and connect with others in a similar situation.
Following the support groups, there will be an opportunity to mingle and connect with others before the event concludes.
