“OCD Natives” Support Group Heidelberg

The group is suitable for anyone suffering from any kind of OCD e.g. washing rituals, obsessive thoughts or compulsive checking. Relatives and supporters of patients are welcome as well. We facilitate exchange of individual experience with OCD and friendship. Our aim is to help people to eventually help themselves.

The group meets every second and fourth Thursday of the month from 19.30 to 21.00 with the exception of national holidays. You can easily subscribe to our calendar feed by clicking the button below the list of appointments.

Yes, please register no later than 6:00 p.m. on the respective Thursday via this table here or at: https://nuudel.digitalcourage.de/ocd

We meet at the Heidelberg Self-Help Centre which is quite close to Heidelberg main station. We recommend you to navigate to u0022Alte Eppelheimer Str. 38, 69115 Heidelbergu0022. Then enter through the gate and turn to the left backyard. Finally climb up the stairs, push the door open and look for room 1.8.

We deliberately do not follow any rigid process. While there will always be an introduction round, after that everyone is free to share their experiences and thoughts. Urgent topics will be given priority. While not being professionals ourselves, we can share first hand experience about therapy and medication options on a best effort basis. Sometimes we might also go for a drink or snack afterwards.
