SUMMARY:Family and Loved One’s Virtual OCD Support Group!
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to offer our monthly Family and Loved Ones OCD Support Group this Saturday\, August 9th\, from 11 AM to 1 PM PT. If you would like to get the link to this Saturday’s support group\, and are already not on our mailing list\, please email us at: info@ocdsocal.org and provide all the email addresses you would like the Zoom link emailed to. \nWe are bringing on a 2 special guests\, Barbara Van Noppen\, Ph.D.\, LCSW\, and Stephanie Davis\, Ph.D. They are presenting: “Family Accommodation in OCD: How to Identify and Stop These Behaviors!” Here is a description of their talk: \nFamily accommodation\, which includes enabling and providing reassurance\, predicts poorer therapeutic outcomes for your loved one and is associated with greater OCD impairment. This presentation will explain accommodation behaviors through the lens of functional behavioral analysis (why your loved one wants this behavior and why parents\, family members\, and spouse feel inclined to give in to their loved one’s OCD). Specific types of family accommodation in OCD will be identified along with information on the Family Accommodation Scale (FAS)\, a measure to identify how much you are accommodating your loved one’s OCD. We will then discuss methods of accommodation reduction that can be used whether you are supporting a child\, young adult\, or adult loved one\, including common language\, family contracts\, and motivational scripts. Video will be used to demonstrate behavioral family contracting. We will end with a discussion of additional treatment strategies to reduce family accommodation including the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Emotions program (SPACE) and behavior modification through rewards and supportive statements. \nAfter their talk\, we will be leaving plenty of time for questions and answers. This group is open to family members\, spouses\, siblings\, parents\, and loved ones of someone with OCD\, or for clinicians wanting to learn more\, or people with OCD and related disorders! \nWe look forward to seeing you this Saturday. If you would like to get the link to this Saturday’s support group\, and are not on our mailing list\, please email us at: info@ocdsocal.org and provide all the email addresses you would like the Zoom link emailed to. We’re excited to see you there!
