Join speakers Rev. Dr. Katie O'Dunne, Valerie Andrews, Emily Bailey, PsyD, and Carolyn Ringenberg, LCSWA, to learn more about what to expect at November 19th's Faith & OCD Online Conference! Register for the conference at: https://events.iocdf.org/event/25Faith/summary?RefId=livestream
Obsessive compulsive disorder affects people of every background, both religious and nonreligious. At times, OCD can take the form of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors centered on religious or moral concerns (known as scrupulosity), where people may worry that their challenges signal weak faith or moral deficiency. Even when symptoms are not faith-related, many individuals turn to their faith leaders as trusted guides during times of struggle. This conference will illustrate how faith can walk alongside treatment as a source of hope and support. Bringing together mental health professionals, clergy, people with lived experience, and their supporters, the event provides education, encouragement, and practical tools.
