This group is for students struggling with OCD, obsessions and/or compulsions. The group focuses on providing psychoeducation, building skills and creating a safe space for students to share strategies in navigating college and life with OCD-related challenges. Topics covered will include ways to manage intrusive thoughts, an introduction to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and ways to address body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as skin-picking and hair-pulling. Students are encouraged to practice the skills and apply them between group sessions. Hosted by BU Student Health Services.
