Support

I facilitate a peer-led, in-person OCD support group for adults in Raleigh, NC!

Thank you so much for your interest in joining! Here are the details:

Who: The group is facilitated by Halima Flynt (that's me!), owner of Vase Your Fears, OCD North Carolina Board Member, and member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) Creative Expression Special Interest Group Leadership Team.

What: A peer-led, in-person OCD support group for adults (21+) with lived experience.

Where: Takes A Village Space located at 8300 Health Park, Raleigh, NC 27615 in the Health Park Complex. Please use Entrance C.

Why: OCD is the worst. But the OCD community is the best. I've learned so much from connecting with others who understand what it's like to live with OCD. Sharing experiences, resources, challenges, and successes can be life-changing and, at times, even lifesaving. My hope is to create a welcoming space where people can find support, connection, and community.

When: 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM on the 3rd Thursday of every month. If a meeting must be canceled, I will notify the group by email. I also send a reminder email before each meeting, so everyone has the latest details.

FAQs:

Do I need to sign-up for every individual meeting? You only need to complete this form once to be added to the email list. If you'd like to be removed from the list at any time, simply reply to one of the emails and let me know.

How much does it cost? It's free! There is a suggested donation of $5 per meeting to help cover drinks and snacks (Venmo: @halimaflynt). Emphasis is on suggested. I never want cost to be a barrier to participation, so if you're unable to donate, please don't worry about it. Everyone is welcome.

Disclaimer: This support group is intended to provide peer support and community connection and is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. In this group we share personal experiences and provide general resources, but we do not offer individualized clinical advice or treatment recommendations.

If you're looking for professional support, I encourage you to visit the International OCD Foundation's clinician finder tool.
