SUMMARY:Anxiety Club documentary screening
DESCRIPTION:Anxiety’s a hell of a thing. But it also makes for some great material. From Emmy Award-winning producer Wendy Lobel (Nick News) comes this peek behind the curtain as a group of comedians—Marc Maron and Aparna Nancherla among them—share stories of how they turned trauma and angst into art. \nANXIETY CLUB provides an intimate and humorous look at anxiety through the eyes and minds of some of today’s most brilliant comedians\, including Tiffany Jenkins\, Joe List\, Marc Maron\, Aparna Nancherla\, Mark Normand\, Baron Vaughn\, and Eva Victor. Through exclusive interviews\, stand-up performances\, sketch videos\, therapy\, and everyday life\, they share their personal relationships with anxiety. With rare access to private therapy sessions\, the film follows Tiffany Jenkins—a comedian and author with millions of followers—as she undergoes the often grueling process of exposure therapy\, capturing the transformative impact of her treatment. World-renowned meditation teacher and author Tara Brach\, Ph.D.\, guides one comedian through meditation to help him transcend his fears and anxieties\, while others find support from The Laugh Factory’s psychologist-in-residence and mentors in the comedy community. Each comedian in ANXIETY CLUB has created stand-up or sketch material about their mental health that is not only funny but uniquely relatable and disarming to audiences. By blending vulnerability with humor\, these comedians offer powerful insight into anxiety\, the world’s most prevalent mental health condition\, affecting more than 300 million people globally. \nContent Warning: This film contains material that may be difficult for some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. \nONLINE Q&A WITH THE cast & crew after the sreening

SUMMARY:OCD from a DEI Lens: Important considerations when working with BIPOC clients
DESCRIPTION:Virtual CE event presented by OCDCSFL and OCD Texas \nPresenters: Marcia Rabinowits\, PsyD\, Darlene Davis Goodwine\, PhD and Ogechi Onyeka\, PhD \nDescription : Although Black Americans and Hispanics/Latinx people experience Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at similar rates to other ethnic groups\, OCD remains under-treated and under-researched within these communities. Several sociocultural risk factors are well-documented in the literature\, however limited resources have been allocated and have examined how to best address these challenges. These findings underscore the need to explore approaches to increase treatment access and address factors that inform barriers to help-seeking and treatment engagement for minority population in the U.S. with OCD. This talk will provide a contextual understanding of the underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic individuals across the lifespan in OCD research and treatment\, emphasizing OCD awareness and treatment engagement. \nRegistration Information\nEarly Bird Registration through May 14\, 2025:  $20.00\nIOCDF Member $25.00\nNon-Member $30.00\nStudent $15.00\nSign Up Here

SUMMARY:STRONGER TOGETHER: A TEAM APPROACH TO OCD TREATMENT. FREE\, VIRTUAL EVENT JUNE 14!
DESCRIPTION:We know that OCD is a debilitating disorder and\, in order to get better\, you need a support team. This upcoming Saturday\, June 14\, from 11 AM to 1 PM PT\, we are putting together an all-star panel consisting of people that represent different parts of a treatment recovery team. This panel will help attendees understand their role and the importance of available resources. This panel will consist of clinicians treating OCD\, a psychiatrist\, people with OCD\, as well as parents\, family members\, and loved ones of people with the disorder. \nTo join the event\, please email: info@ocdsocal.org\, and ask for the June 14th Zoom link. Please include all the email addresses you would like the Zoom link to go to. \nAt OCD SoCal\, we have been running a free\, family and loved one’s support group for the past 13 years every second Saturday of the month. The support group and OCD Southern California are collaborating to bring you this special event! \nWe will start with the panelists having an open\, moderated\, roundtable discussion about everyone’s role in OCD treatment and how each discipline brings something special to the team. Then we will spend a majority of the time on a Q&A to allow you to ask questions to help navigate your own recovery journey. It’s a major event with a lot of expertise that you don’t want to miss! \nOn Wednesday\, June 11th\, we will send out an email with the Zoom link for the event and also have the list of all the speakers. We will re-send the Zoom link early on the morning of the event on June 14th\, so if you sign up after the 11th\, you will receive the link the morning of the event. We hope to see you there on Saturday\, June 14th! \nIn order to foster a safe community\, we do not record the support group. This allows attendees the opportunity to share their experiences and ask questions in a safe space. We encourage you to attend or listen in to the support group live on Saturday. \nWe look forward to seeing you at the event! If you would like to attend\, please email info@ocdsocal.org and include any email addresses you want the Zoom link for the event to be sent to.

SUMMARY:Family and Loved One’s Virtual OCD Support Group!
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to hold a special edition of our monthly family and loved ones OCD Support Group this Saturday\, July 19\, from 11 AM to 1 PM PT. We typically have our support group every second Saturday of the month\, but last Saturday\, your group co-facilitators\, Chris Trondsen\, LMFT\, And Liz Trondsen\, were presenting at the IOCDF’s 30th annual OCD conference. It was great to meet many of you there and hear that our support means so much to you! So\, to make up for missing last week\, we are actually holding the July support group this Saturday\, July 19 from 11 AM to 1 PM. 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 special guest doctor\, Stephen Poskar (https://www.ocdnyc.com)\, a psychiatrist practicing in New York. Dr. Poskar recently led the International OCD Foundation’s launch of updated treatment guidelines https://iocdf.org/ocd-treatment-guide/. These guidelines explain to the public the frontline\, gold standard\, and evidence-based treatments for obsessive compulsive disorder\, both through medication and other psychopharmacology interventions\, as well as appropriate behavioral interventions. \nFor this Saturday’s presentation\, Dr. Stephen Poskar and Chris Trondsen\, a licensed therapist specializing in the treatment of OCD and related disorders\, will team up to go over those treatment guidelines. Our goal is to have a discussion on what families should expect when first seeking out treatment\, what treatment should look like as it progresses and then the final stages of treatment. We will speak based on the guidelines\, as well as years of clinical practice. \nOur goal for you as an attendee is to get a good solid understanding of what to expect if you or a loved one is first seeking out treatment\, is currently in treatment or if you are wrapping up treatment or cutting back on sessions. All participants should have a solid understanding of the frontline treatments for OCD\, what to expect in each stage of treatment\, and what new research is on the horizon. \nFor this support group\, we want to give you plenty of time to share your story and ask questions. We will be leaving plenty of time for questions and answers so you may ask any personal medication or clinical questions. 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. Below is Dr. Stephen Poskar’s bio and then the zoom link to join us this Saturday. 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. We’re excited to see you there!
