Hear true stories from OCD patients about living with and overcoming obsessive compulsive disorder. Watch live as stories unfold from across the country. Listen to top OCD therapists and other experts as they share their personal experiences from working in the field. Get your questions about OCD answered by local cognitive behavior therapist.

This is a national event that will give voice to those who are intimately affected by OCD. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the event will have three parts:

• Local therapist, Heidi Hartston, Ph.D., will present an overview of OCD and answer questions.
• In a live streaming video, doctors who treat people with obsessive compulsive disorder, family members of people with OCD, and those who suffer from OCD will engage in a night of true storytelling.
• Small group discussions after the event will allow attendees to have the opportunity to discuss and reflect on what they have seen and heard
