Patient Resources

At the Thompson Centre, in addition to providing treatment for individuals within our community, we are working towards providing patients with a variety of tools to help them learn more and manage their OCD and related disorders. We cannot endorse these resources; however, as they become available to us we add them to the listing of patient resources below.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

OCD patient & family handbook

Download the OCD patient & family handbook » This information guide is for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders, their family members, friends, and anyone else who may find it useful. It is not meant to include everything but tries to answer some common questions people often have about OCD. The information in this guide can also be used to help people and their loved ones discuss OCD with treatment providers in order to make informed choices. We hope that readers will find the information useful.

O.C.A. Toronto (Obsessive Compulsive Anonymous Toronto)
ocatoronto.ca

OCA Toronto is rooted in the 12 Step Program and is affiliated with OCA World Services. Their website contains resources and information on daily virtual & phone meetings, which include opportunities for sponsorship in the 12 Step Program for OCD.

Our confidential meetings employ various formats including personal stories and thematic presentations; but the voluntary sharing of our experiences, strength and hope is at the heart of every meeting. Members also have the opportunity to exchange phone numbers and e-mail addresses and join our confidential Facebook group.

There are no dues or fees and meetings are open to those with OCD; as well as their supporters. Although our in-person meetings began in Toronto, we are now pleased to be able to welcome attendees from anywhere via Zoom/phone. Those of us at OCA who are receiving professional help for OCD have found this program a welcome addition.

You are no longer alone!
OCA is a support group, not a crisis line.

Virtual & Phone Meetings:
Fourth Saturday of each month.
10:00am – 11:30am (EST)
