College is a time of excitement, new experiences, and transitions, all of which can provide a perfect storm of factors that exacerbate OCD. In this workshop, we will discuss ways to best cope with OCD in order to preserve a positive college experience. We will address issues including diagnoses and treatment options, college adjustment, roommate relationships, and dating. You’ll hear perspectives of a treatment provider and recent graduates. This workshop is designed for those preparing to enter or already in college, as well as their support networks.
