The Young Adult SIG is a group of passionate young adults with OCD in various parts of the country and in different stages of life. The goal of the SIG and its members is to help create a community of young adults with OCD that can stay connected and provide support to one another year-round. To do this, the SIG focuses on creating both fun and educational opportunities for connection throughout the year as well as at the OCD Conference! The group both meets internally and hosts community events once a month!
