Diversity Starts with Us
October 12, 2023 at 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
Join a diverse group of BIPOC patients, advocates, and clinicians for a discussion about the additional stigmas and barriers that marginalized populations face in accessing treatment, receiving appropriate diagnosis & treatment, and finding community through their OCD recovery. This conversation will address common roadblocks faced by BIPOC patients due to their cultures, racial/ethnic backgrounds, faiths, and intersecting identities, and how these factors have shaped treatment, recovery, and community support. This event will help raise awareness, improve representation, and break the stigma – and above all, this event will provide an active call to action to have more people from diverse communities and allies join us in improving outcomes for marginalized populations and bridging the gap of inequality.
Check out our upcoming in-person and virtual events for all members of the OCD community.
