Ottawa GOAL Group

Modelled after the GOAL support group developed by Jonathan Grayson, Ph.D. and Gayle Frankel, the group gives participants the opportunity to discuss topics relevant to OCD and its treatment, as well as support each other to set achievable behavioural goals that will help with gaining better control over one’s OCD. Finally, the group will allow participants to connect with others living with OCD in the aim of fostering a safe and supportive community.

The GOAL group is a peer-led and professional-assisted group, meaning that the group is co-facilitated by members with lived experience and a mental health clinician. It runs 3 times per month, the other session occurring in-person in downtown Ottawa.
