On Saturday, October 16, 2021, from 10am to 12pm PST, OCD Southern California is offering a free and interactive virtual event to celebrate OCD Awareness Week! This event includes presentations from members of the OCD SoCal board discussing various OCD topics and is open to anyone, anywhere!

The event’s agenda:

After an introduction by our board members, the presentations will begin and last for the first half of the event:

The second half of the event will feature a Q&A segment with each of the speakers available to answer any questions you may have!

We will then conclude with a message from our board members.

Since this event is virtual, all are welcome to attend–from anywhere! The event is perfect for individuals with OCD, their family and loved ones, and professionals wanting to learn more about OCD treatment. It is also a fantastic opportunity to educate the public on OCD. Please invite family and loved ones who would benefit from learning more about this disorder.

We will be sending out the specific link to the event for those on our OCD SoCal mailing list. If you or someone you feel would be interested in attending are not on that list, please email us at: info@OCDSoCal.org.
