SUMMARY:Family and Loved One’s Online OCD Support Group! Free!
DESCRIPTION:Chris Trondsen\, LMFT\, a clinician with OCD\, and his mom\, Liz Trondsen\, are excited to remind you about our May\, virtual\, free Family and Loved Ones OCD Support Group. It will be held Saturday\, May 9\, for two hours\, from 11 AM – 1 PM PDT. This support group is every second Saturday of the month\, from 11am to 1pm Pacific Time. It is a free\, virtual support group available to anyone from anywhere! \nTo join the support group\, email info@ocdsocal.org and simply request the event’s Zoom link or for more information! \nOur guest for the Saturday\, May 9th\, Family and Loved Ones’ OCD Support Group is author\, speaker\, trainer\, and leader in the field\, C. Alec Pollard\, Ph.D. As group facilitators\, it is our mission to bring top-notch guests to each of our support groups to address different aspects of loving and supporting someone with OCD. The support group is 2 hours\, from 11am to 1pm Pacific Time\, and will start with our guest\, Dr. Alec Pollard\, discussing relevant information to attendees with a loved one suffering from OCD. The second half will feature a question-and-answer segment where attendees can ask live questions\, or ask them publicly or anonymously in the chat! Here is more information on the details to be discussed on May 9th\, as well as information on our guest speaker\, Dr. Pollard! \nWe often hear from attendees that they are struggling to get their loved one into OCD treatment\, either for the first time or to treatment after a previous negative experience with therapy. Alec will address this problem\, including ways to discuss treatment with your loved one\, how to reduce accommodations and enabling\, reducing home stress\, and ultimately\, what you\, the loved one\, can do to improve the situation even if your loved one is not involved in the treatment plan. \nAdditionally\, many of you have a loved one in OCD treatment\, yet they are falling short of hitting their treatment goals\, and it feels as if they are not giving their “all” in treatment. Alec Pollard\, Ph.D.\, will address potential treatment-interfering behaviors (TIBs) at play\, the role of supporters\, ways to help your loved one be more successful in treatment\, and\, ultimately\, how to address a loved one in treatment who is not experiencing much success. \nDr. Pollard will draw on both his clinical expertise and material from his popular book\, “When a Loved One Won’t Seek Mental Health Treatment.” You will learn ways to improve your family’s current situation\, even if your loved one is not in treatment or is not interested in collaborating if they are. This talk will be for family members\, loved ones\, spouses\, friends\, and anyone supporting a person in their life with OCD. People with OCD\, educators\, therapists\, and anyone interested in the material are welcome to join! \nAlec Pollard\, Ph.D.\, will then answer your questions during the Q&A before the group’s conclusion! \nWe will see you Saturday\, May 9th\, from 11 AM – 1 PM PDT! \nThe event is open to loved ones\, family members and spouses of someone with OCD\, as well as people with OCD—or anyone else interested. \nTo join the support group\, email info@ocdsocal.org and simply request the event’s Zoom link or for more information! \nFor more information on the support group\, including Dr. Pollard’s bio\, visit ocdsocal.org!
