Camp DCO is a 3-day overnight camp for adults and teens with OCD.  The camp started in 2008 with the idea that individuals with OCD could benefit from shared experience alongside others who live with OCD.  The purpose of the program remains the same today, as we strive to create a safe environment whereby participants can share, learn, and understand themselves through this unique opportunity.   Learn more at teenocdcamp.com.

A Movie for All Ages. Free, Open to all

Sat, May 19 at 10:00 am – 12:00 pm PDT

Glaser Auditorium, Swedish Medical Center747 Broadway
Seattle, 98122 United States + Google Map

Join us for a free community, family-friendly screening and discussion of UNSTUCK: an OCD kids movie followed by discussion groups for children, parents, teens and adults with professionals specializing in the treatment of OCD.

There is a lot of confusion about Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). To uncover what OCD is, and what it isn’t, UNSTUCK: an OCD kids movie focuses on an unlikely group of experts: Kids.

By documenting six unique OCD stories, UNSTUCK reveals the complexity of this mental health disorder, and allows kids and teens to explain how they faced their fears and regained control of their lives.

You will be amazed what kids can teach you about OCD.

For the trailer and more information on the movie, visit https://www.ocdkidsmovie.com/
