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!
