SUMMARY:Orange County - Family Support Group - The Gateway Institute - March 12\, 2016
DESCRIPTION:At The Gateway Institute\, we believe the inclusion of family members in the treatment process is imperative. Families are often on the outside looking in\, with few strategies and tools at their disposal to help their loved one. To ensure optimal growth and healing\, families need to learn how to respond to the OCD sufferer in a healthy and productive manner. We feel that it is necessary to provide families with their own support group so they have the ability to learn and talk amongst each other for further support and guidance. The family support group is held the second Saturday of each month\, so please join us. \nFor more information go to http://www.gatewayocd.com/support/family-support/

SUMMARY:OCD Southern California's 5th Annual (Virtual) Conference
DESCRIPTION:OCD Southern California Conference 2021: A Virtual Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the 5th annual OCD Southern California conference–a virtual event this year! We are thrilled to present the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF)’s National and Lead Advocates as our keynote speakers. We are pleased to introduce our speakers: \nEthan S. Smith was born with OCD and struggled the majority of his life until receiving life-changing treatment in 2010. Ethan was the keynote speaker at the 2014 Annual OCD Conference in Los Angeles. He serves as an IOCDF National Advocate. He has devoted his life to reducing stigma around OCD and mental health\, to education\, and to supporting the OCD community. \nElizabeth McIngvale\, PhD is the director of the McLean Houston OCD Program. Elizabeth is a National Advocate for the IOCDF and serves as a board member. She was diagnosed with OCD at age 12 and underwent both inpatient and outpatient therapy. Elizabeth engages in clinical work\, research\, and advocacy with the goal of improving access to care and OCD treatment. \nValerie Andrews received an OCD diagnosis in 2011 and\, following treatment\, began advocating in hopes of bringing awareness and inclusion within her own community and communities of faith. Her goal is to continue working as an IOCDF Lead Advocate and promoting change for women of age\, color\, and faith. \nTom Smalley\, MS\, CSCS was diagnosed with OCD at the age of 16 and shortly after became passionate about spreading awareness about OCD. Tom was the recipient of the 2019 IOCDF Hero Award. He speaks at the Annual OCD Conferences and has appeared on a variety of blogs and podcasts. Tom is particularly passionate about athletes and OCD and the stigma of mental health in sports. \nChris Trondsen\, MS\, AMFT\, APCC\, suffered from undiagnosed\, severe OCD and BDD from childhood. Following treatment\, Chris began advocating for mental health and shared his story on TV\, newspapers and podcasts. Chris began speaking at Annual OCD Conferences\, including giving the keynote with his mom at the 2011 conference. He also helped start the Young Adult Track at the annual conference. \nEach of these advocates is a person with OCD who devotes time to support others with the disorder and to advocate for better mental health services. \nFollowing the keynote speakers\, there will be a total of 30 break-out sessions offered during three consecutive time slots.  Ten breakout sessions will be offered during each time slot. More information about our presentations\, led by some of the top OCD experts in the United States\, is now posted on our website: ocdsocal.org. We are also offering community discussion groups\, two documentaries\, and a mindfulness/yoga workshop during the lunch break. The conference will end with a Summary Q&A Panel and an opportunity drawing for various prizes. \nUp to 5.25 CEs available for LMFT\, LPCC\, LCSW and psychologists.
