Re: NEW OCD SUPPORT FOR TEENS GROUP READY!! AGES 13-20

[Guest guest]

Just moving the topic up to recent with a " reply " so newer members will see.

I just checked and they have 13 members now. Will be a good resource for

teens. I imagine some in the older range may rather join the OCD Support Group

that is for adults, however, I know my own son was still a bit immature in ways

and probably would feel more comfortable with younger ages; just saying, don't

let a higher age range stop any 13 yr olds from joining, as the moderator is 16

herself. (her mom is helping)

support group for teens with OCD (ages 13 to 20). I am a parent moderator of

this new group, and I am in the process of finding at least one OCD therapist

who can also moderate the group to help answer questions about OCD treatment.

and I will very carefully monitor this group and keep it focused on

discussions about how OCD affects the daily lives of teens and how they can

manage their OCD better.

new, well-moderated group available for teens with OCD. We have the backing of

the International OCD Foundation in this effort.

active group of teens discussing how to better manage our lives with OCD. Keep

in mind that this is not just a social group; this is a group dedicated to

helping teens with OCD gain support from their peers and work on fighting their

OCD.
