OCD SoCal Is Hosting A Free, Virtual Educational Event for OCD Awareness Week 2021! Save the Date!

During this year’s OCD Awareness Week, on Saturday, October 16, 2021, from 10am to 12 noon PST, OCD Southern California is offering a free and interactive virtual event! This event includes presentations from members of the OCD SoCal board discussing various OCD topics!

These topics include presentations from experts on: exposure and response prevention treatment, OCD medications, and how to reduce family accommodation. Additionally, a panel consisting of individuals in recovery from OCD will share their lived experiences.

Finally, the event will conclude with a presentation from a special guest, Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT. She will be discussing her newly released book, “The Self-Compassion Workbook for OCD.”

All are welcome to attend, and the second half of the presentation will allow attendees to ask questions on any material presented. It is a fantastic opportunity to educate the public on OCD, so please also invite family and loved ones who would benefit from learning more about this disorder.

We will be sending out the specific Zoom link to those on our OCD SoCal mailing list, so if you or someone you feel would be interested in attending are not on that list, please email us at: info@OCDSoCal.org.

This year OCD Awareness Week is from Sunday, October 10th until Saturday, October 16, 2021!

We look forward to seeing you there!
