Free, Virtual Family and Loved One’s OCD Support Group on Saturday, April 12, from 11am to 1pm PT!

You are invited to join us on Saturday, April 12th, from 11 am to 1 pm PT for our monthly, free, virtual Family and Loved One’s OCD Support Group! This support group is for family members, parents, loved ones, spouses, and anyone supporting someone with OCD! Additionally, if someone with OCD and related disorders would like to join us or a mental health professional wanting to learn more about OCD, you are invited as well. Since this event is virtual, anyone from anywhere can join us! To get the Zoom link for April 12th’s support group, PLEASE EMAIL: info@ocdsocal.org. Let us know in the email you would like the Zoom link, and please include any additional email addresses to which you would like us to send the Zoom link!

For our April 12th support group, we are thrilled to welcome four young adults who have overcome OCD and are living fulfilled lives. They have gone on to lead the IOCDF Young Adult Special Interest Group (SIG). Kyle King, Sidney Lodge, Jessie Birnbaum, and Victoria Lane suffered from severe OCD, received evidence-based therapy, and now give back through advocacy, with a few of them becoming therapists specializing in OCD treatment themselves!

They want to focus on what their family and loved ones did that helped their recovery, as well as share what did not work to help guide you on how to support the person in your life with OCD.

The four young adult guest speakers will also share their inspirational stories of how they overcame OCD and answer all your questions! This group will focus on the Q&A, so we will have plenty of time for your questions! This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn. We encourage your loved one with OCD to join us to hear from those in recovery – and for parents and loved ones to find out how they can better help their loved ones on their recovery journey.

This support group meets every second Saturday of the month from 11 am to 1 pm PT. It features families and individuals who have overcome their OCD and share their journey. Additionally, we have special guest researchers, psychiatrists, authors, treatment providers, and other special guests each month. We hope to see you Saturday, April 12th, at 11 am PT. Please email us at info@ocdsocal.org to be on our mailing list and receive the April support group’s Zoom link!
