The national OCD charity, run by and for people with lived experience of OCD
Liverpool OCD Support Group
The Liverpool OCD support group is open to sufferers, family members and friends, and is an informal meeting where people affected by OCD can talk to others in a friendly, non-judgemental way.
The group does not offer specific therapy or professional guidance, but is an opportunity to share ideas and strategies, and to provide mutual support.
The Brian Charity (formerly the Neurosupport Centre),
Norton Street,
Liverpool
L3 8LR
The Brain Charity building is situated on the northbound lane of Norton Road (from London Road).
We meet in the Seminar Room
The meeting usually takes place in the seminar room, although if other events are taking place the room will be indicated with a support group sign.
The Liverpool OCD support group usually meets once a month, usually on the first Wednesday of the month between 5pm and 6/6:30pm. The group is very relaxed, so please don't worry if you are a little late or have to leave early.
This group is very well attended, and whilst we try and given everyone talk-time, this is not always possible.
