SUMMARY:Building Courage & Community: BDD Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:This year\, we are proud to host our 6th International Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) Conference\, centred around the theme of Building Courage & Community through shared lived experience. \nOur conference is a unique opportunity to bring together the BDD community in a supportive\, hopeful\, and informative space. Individuals living with BDD\, loved ones\, clinicians\, researchers\, and mental health professionals come together to deepen understanding of the condition\, explore developments in treatment and recovery\, and hear inspiring stories from those with lived experience. \nThis year’s event places a particularly strong emphasis on the power of lived experience\, peer support\, and connection. Alongside our main stage talks\, we will be offering interactive workshops and support sessions designed to provide practical tools for recovery\, reduce isolation\, and help attendees build confidence and hope in moving forwards. \nBy creating opportunities for people to connect with others who truly understand\, we hope to foster a safe and empowering environment where attendees can take meaningful steps in their recovery journey and leave feeling less alone. \nThroughout the day\, attendees will hear from leading clinicians\, researchers\, advocates\, and members of the BDD community. Together\, these perspectives will offer a compassionate and balanced understanding of BDD\, combining clinical expertise with real-world lived experience. \nWorkshops and sessions will focus on practical strategies\, recovery-focused approaches\, and overcoming common challenges associated with BDD. Beyond the educational content\, the conference is also a space for comfort\, solidarity\, and connection. Many attendees tell us that simply being in a room with others who understand BDD can be an incredibly moving and hopeful experience.

SUMMARY:Reining in OCD at Mudflower Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join NECOA Boston at Mudflower Farm for a family-centered workshop that brings the SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) model out of the therapy room and into the pasture. Working in small groups alongside our equine partners\, parents and children will engage in structured groundwork exercises as a team in activities that mirror the core SPACE principles of reducing accommodation\, increasing warmth and validation\, and responding to distress with calm\, confident presence rather than reassurance-seeking or avoidance. Horses\, as highly attuned\, non-verbal mirrors of human anxiety and congruence\, offer families immediate\, embodied feedback: they give parents a vivid\, unique way to practice the very skills that help children with OCD make room for uncertainty and distress. Facilitated by NECOA clinicians alongside experienced equine specialists\, this playful yet purposeful activity translates evidence-based strategies into a memorable\, felt experience — because sometimes the best lessons in supportive parenting come not from a worksheet\, but from a perceptive\, empathic herd of 1\,200-pound teachers outstanding in their field.

SUMMARY:Emotions Hotel
DESCRIPTION:​For OCD Awareness Week\, participants will design their very own “Emotions Hotel\,” using art to turn their feelings into characters and create special rooms for each one. They’ll explore what helps different emotions feel welcome and practice making space for all feelings\, even the uncomfortable ones\, with kindness and curiosity. \n​We’ll also connect this activity to OCD and how learning to make space for intrusive thoughts and the pull to engage in compulsions can help us respond to OCD in new ways. No two hotels will look the same!
