Stronger Together: Supporting the Global OCD Community
At The Gateway Institute, we believe that healing from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is not just about treatment, it’s about connection, compassion, and building resilience through community. That’s why we’re proud to support the upcoming 2025 Online OCD Conference, hosted by OCD Southern California (OCDSoCal), happening November 15–16, 2025.
This global gathering brings together individuals with OCD, family members, advocates, and clinicians from across the world. The theme of this year’s keynote, “Stronger Together: Community, Compassion, and Resilience,” captures the heart of what so many in the OCD community already know: none of us should walk this path alone.
Why Community Matters in OCD Recovery
Living with OCD can often feel isolating. Intrusive thoughts and compulsions are deeply personal experiences, and many people struggle in silence, unsure if anyone can truly understand what they’re going through. Conferences like this one remind us that there is an entire network of people such as clinicians, researchers, advocates, and individuals with lived experience who are committed to breaking that isolation. Community fosters belonging, compassion provides hope, and resilience grows when we realize we are stronger than OCD’s grip when we come together.
Inspiring Voices Leading the Way
The conference will feature a keynote panel with leaders in the OCD field who embody these values of accessibility and support. Each of these voices brings a unique perspective including lived experience, clinical expertise, advocacy, or education. Together they will highlight the diverse ways people can support one another on the journey toward recovery.
Accessible and Affordable Support
One of the most remarkable aspects of the 2025 Online OCD Conference is its commitment to accessibility. Registration has been intentionally kept low-cost. Scholarships are also offered so that finances never become a barrier to attending. This reflects a shared belief that everyone deserves access to community, learning, and support, regardless of circumstance.
