OCD Rhode Island – OCD & Anxiety Support Group
About This Group
OCD Rhode Island offers support groups for individuals living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and related anxiety conditions. Affiliated with the International OCD Foundation, these groups provide a welcoming space where individuals with OCD can connect with others who understand their experience, share coping strategies, and learn about evidence-based treatments in a nonjudgmental setting.
What to Expect
Support group meetings feature a combination of peer discussion, educational presentations, and mutual support. Some meetings include guest speakers such as clinicians who specialize in OCD treatment. Facilitators have personal or professional experience with OCD and create an environment where members feel safe discussing their symptoms, treatment progress, and challenges. Both individuals with OCD and their family members are welcome.
