Join our support group Saturday, December 13th from 11AM – 1 PM PST. Email: info@ocdsocal.org and request Saturday’s support group’s link! We meet virtually every second Saturday of the month.

For our December Family & Loved Ones OCD Support Group, we are happy to welcome Lauren Rosen, LMFT, the author of the upcoming “The Mental Compulsions Workbook for OCD.” Additionally, we will be joined by USC Psychiatrist and researcher, Adam Frank, Ph.D., MD.

Titled “An OCD Master Class: Family & Loved Ones’ Edition,” Lauren Rosen, LMFT, and Adam Frank, PhD, MD, will discuss key OCD topics that include: what to do if your loved one has stubborn or difficult to treat OCD, how your loved one can get better if their OCD is predominantly mental, expectations on improvement during different stages of OCD treatment, how to find scientific-based resources for OCD, how one gets better from OCD, and what should family members and loved ones do or don’t do to make your loved one’s recovery more likely. Additional topics include a discussion on frontline medications for OCD treatment, what to expect regarding side effects and improvements, and a discussion on additional interventions that include TMS, ketamine, deep brain stimulation, and psychedelics.

We will kick off the group with a master class so you have a solid understanding of every element of OCD recovery and treatment. We will then dedicate the second half to answering your specific questions that remain after the open discussion, either on what was discussed earlier or your personal situation.

You can join and engage, or simply watch, the level of involvement is completely up to you. Additionally, for privacy for you and your family, we do not record the support group so please enjoy the group live to experience this event. Anyone from anywhere can join. This group is for family members, loved ones, and spouses of people with OCD. People with OCD and related disorders, as well as clinicians and other interested parties are also welcomed!

We will see you Saturday, December 13th, from 11am to 1pm PST! Make sure to email info@ocdsocal.org to receive the Zoom link and visit www.ocdsocal.org for more information!
