OCD SoCal is thrilled to present an in-person Speakers Series event in Southern California at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa!
About this Event

We are proud to present OCD SoCal’s upcoming Speakers Series happening in Southern California. This event will be held in Orange County on Saturday, May 30. This event will be held in Orange County, a central location, allowing everyone in Southern California to attend the event on Saturday, May 30. Please note: the Memorial Holiday Weekend is May 23-25.

This event is open to individuals with OCD, their family members, spouses and loved ones, mental health providers, students, and the general public. General talks will be offered from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The Speakers Series will end with a Q&A panel session featuring many of the day's speakers.

This event is also for mental health providers wanting to learn more about OCD. There will be a clinician track, and we are offering 3 CE credits to licensed clinicians who attend the full day.

This low-cost, in-person event will feature presentations by local OCD specialist treatment providers. They will facilitate panels and presentations on OCD and related disorders and host a question-and-answer segment. This will also be an excellent opportunity to meet and connect with others in the local OCD community.

Early bird registration is $10.00 per individual. Registration costs will increase to $15.00, beginning April 13, and will increase to $18.00 on May 15. The low-cost sign-up will aid our non-profit in covering venue and food costs. We will be offering beverages and a catered lunch.

For licensed therapists (LMFT, LPCC, LCSW, and psychologists), please register for the Professional ticket.

The event will be held in the College Center at the corner of Fairview Road and Merrimac Way. From Fairview, turn right on Arlington (there is a light signal) to the parking lot. If you reach Merrimac Road, you have just passed the parking lots, but still can enter to the right. The building is very well identified from the road. Free parking is available adjacent to the event location in lots C, D and E. If these lots are full, parking is free in all lots on Saturdays. However, do not park in a STAFF parking spot.

For a map of the campus, please . The event is being held on the 3rd floor of the College Center (number 189 on the map). You can clearly see Lots C, D and E adjacent to the building. There is no need to walk through the campus to find the correct location!

The titles and descriptions of our nine talks will be available soon on our website: . We will also provide information on the three talks for clinicians who want to earn CE credits.
