*COMING SOON* Calgary OCD Support Group 2020👏🏻
The aocdf held a meeting in Calgary this past weekend with three new volunteers; Katie, Cam and Angel. The group connected through the aocdf, social media and the aocdf chat rooms. The three are strong advocates for OCD and recognize the need for an OCD support group in Calgary. They want other OCD sufferers in Calgary to know, "you are not alone."

The conferences, support groups, BBQs, the community, the people, the vulnerability & validation, acceptance, laughs & cries. The OCD community is a place of belonging and friendship.
