What we’re about
About us: The San Francisco OCD & Anxiety Peer Support Group is a friendly, casual in-person support group for adults (18+) with OCD (aka sticky minds), anxiety, and related experiences (aka being human) with almost no structure. We sit, talk, and hang out.
I run this group to give people a space to be themselves and make friends with people who understand what living with OCD, anxiety, and related experiences can be like. From personal experience, I know how isolation can be so detrimental to one’s mental health; I want to ensure that people have a safe space to connect with others who understand.
We meet at 54 Iris Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118
Look for a blue building with silver banding and palm trees in the front with an open garage door. In the garage, a bunch of chairs will be set up in a circle with people sitting together, having fun and socializing.
Remember to wear warm clothes and/or bring a throw blanket to keep warm since I'll have the garage door open for ventilation.
Accessibility info: The space is wheelchair and mobility device accessible. There are mobility device-accessible bathrooms at Starbucks and Peet’s, which are only a block away. The meeting space is scent-free and is low light. Please refrain from wearing anything scented, including lotion and dry-cleaned clothes. This is to ensure that the group is safe for people with chemical sensitivities.
COVID safety info: The space is indoors with a ton of ventilation, so be prepared by wearing warm clothes and/or by bringing a throw blanket to put over your lap.
Fees: There is a suggested donation of $2 per group. This is to cover the annual expenses of hosting the group on meetup.
