CommonGround offers free, peer-led, social/support groups so that everyone has an opportunity to feel comfortable sharing their OCD journeys. The meetings are held over Zoom and are targeted toward teens (preferably 15 and older) and young adults. CommonGround is a pressure-free, relaxed, safe space to listen or share struggles and triumphs with those who understand.
Confidentiality and privacy for the members of this support group are a priority. I will never record our meetings, and members will be asked not to take pictures, video, or audio recordings. Confidentiality concerns should be immediately brought to the attention of the facilitator. This peer-led social/support group is not intended to offer medical advice or serve as a substitute for the consultation, diagnosis, and/or medical treatment of a qualified professional psychologist, psychiatrist, physician, or healthcare provider. In the event of an emergency or crisis in the United States, call your doctor or 911 immediately, or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. If you are outside the United States, call your doctor or emergency services number immediately.
