On Saturday, September 14th, OCD SoCal board members Chris Trondsen, LMFT, and Liz Trondsen are hosting their monthly virtual, free Family and Loved One’s OCD Support Group. The event is titled “It Takes A Village,” and goes from 11am to 1pm PST and features six guest presenters.

Michelle Massi, LMFT, will be presenting an overview on the role of the clinician in OCD treatment and how they can make sure each of the family members and loved ones are working together in unison. Clinicians Michelle Witkin, Ph.D, and Krista Reed, LSCSW will discuss the role of the siblings in the recovery process and ways to ensure siblings are not ignored as parents tend to the individual with OCD. Natasha Daniels, LCSW, and Kim Vincenty will speak as mothers with children who have OCD on how moms can best support their loved one with OCD. Additionally, Chris Baier is a father of a daughter with OCD and will discuss the important role fathers play in the treatment process.

The event will conclude with a Q&A for attendees to ask the panel questions about their personal situation with OCD.
