HOW TO GET INVOLVED?

join a special interest group

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are developed to cultivate purposeful initiatives that support and advance IOCDF’s mission to help those affected by OCD and related disorders. SIGs operate semi-independently and vary in content, structure, and activity level.

join a PEER group

The OCD Georgia Peer Group is a supportive community of people with lived experience with OCD. We get together socially once each month and enjoy doing a range of activities together. We don't talk about OCD the whole time or even much at all, but there is something powerful about forming friendships with other people who 'get it.' We stay connected in between meetings through our GroupMe chat.

We will meet at Pernoshal Park, a 5-acre park in Dunwoody with trails that connect to the Dunwoody Trailway. Plenty of free parking is available in the adjacent lot as well as the Emory parking lot across the street.

The Walk will leave from the Pavilion and follow the trails of Dunwoody Trailway. This event is accessible for all! Individuals and groups can choose a walk distance works for them, or can choose to remain in the pavilion connecting with others.
