  3. Hi Miranda, I'm so sorry to hear that you are struggling. I'm sure other users who are parents will be able to offer advice from their perspectives, but I just wanted to highlight a couple of video resources we have from Dr Fiona Challacombe that will hopefully be informative: Perinatal OCD https://www.ocduk.org/conference/2021-virtual/breakout/working-with-perinatal-ocd-in-a-pandemic/ (from 2020) OCD and parenting https://www.ocduk.org/conference/2022-virtual/breakout-room/ocd-parenting/ (from 2022)

  5. Hi everyone! We are having a festive social event for the support group community on Thursday 14th December at 10:15am - there will be a quiz and the opportunity to chat about non-OCD topics in a relaxed environment. As always there is no pressure to be on camera or to speak if you don't want to, and the chat box will be open. It's totally ok to drop in for part of the session if you can't stay for the duration and everyone is welcome!

  7. The next support group for young people age 12-17 is Wednesday 20th December at 6pm: https://www.ocduk.org/support-groups/online/consent-form/ (please complete the consent form which upon completion generates the Zoom registration details)
  8. Hi @OB1! I'm sorry that you've had trouble registering. That error message is usually due to a Zoom security settings update which means that people need to be logged in to a (free) registered Zoom account to attend the groups (Zoom recognises whether there is an account associated with the email address people enter when registering). You can register for a free Zoom account with your email address here: https://zoom.us/signup#/signup Once you've signed up Zoom should let you register but please let me know if you're still facing any problems!
  9. Hi @Em24! There are indeed. All upcoming dates are listed at: https://www.ocduk.org/support-groups/online/ - there are usually groups on Tuesday evenings at 7pm and Thursday mornings at 10:15am. You register for each date you would like to attend separately so you can pick the ones that are convenient for you. The groups are very popular so you may find a message saying 'registration closed' when you click on a date - this means the group is currently at capacity, but we often have last minute cancellations so if you are keen to attend it's worth checking back on the day the group is due to run (even in the couple of hours before!) - registration automatically reopens when people cancel. If you have any problems please email groups@ocduk.org and we can advise

  12. We are pleased to announce that our support groups for young people age 12-17 with OCD will now be running each month! The groups will be hosted by Mia, who was part of our young ambassadors project and has now joined the OCD-UK team to run the young people’s support groups and Laura, our Online Support Group Lead. The next young people's group is taking place next Wednesday 25th October at 6pm, you can sign up here: https://www.ocduk.org/support-groups/online/consent-form/ . A consent form will need to be filled in by parents for their child to attend. Once complete it will generate the link so you can register for the group on Zoom. It is important to complete both the consent form and then the Zoom registration to attend. There is no pressure for attendees to be on camera or speak verbally if they would prefer to just listen in, and there will be a chat box so attendees can talk and ask questions in there too. Please email us at groups@ocduk.org if you have any questions!
  13. Hi JezzP, welcome! I'm so sorry to hear this has been your experience. CBT (which incorporates ERP) should be offered by the NHS for OCD, and this should be offered by primary care services in the first instance. There's more information about NHS treatment here: https://www.ocduk.org/overcoming-ocd/accessing-ocd-treatment/accessing-ocd-treatment-through-the-nhs/ If you want to get in touch with us to talk about how to access CBT (which incorporates ERP) through the NHS in your area pop us an email at support@ocduk.org
