Local Obsessive-Compulsive (OC) Groups:

Support Groups offer people with OCD the opportunity to come together and share experiences. These groups are listed here at the request of the group leader.   

Groups are constantly changing. Please contact the OC Foundation of Western PA if you are having difficulty establishing contact with a group.  We do our best to keep information current and correct but we need to be notified of changes to these listings when required. We welcome information on additional groups which may offer support for members of the OCD community.
