Turning the clocks back, the days will be shorter and you may start feeling a loss of energy. Less sunlight exposure can contribute to SAD or seasonal affective depression. Remember that there are ways to improve your mental health during the fall and winter months!

☀️ Soak in some daily sunlight every morning
💛 Stay active with some simple exercises

Remember that you are not alone, and SOAR is here to help! 💙

Thank YOU to everyone who came to the Dallas OCD Walk hosted by this past weekend in support of those affected by OCD. Hearing your stories and coming together as a community will always hold a special place in our hearts at SOAR and we are proud to have been a part of it!

We also want to share a HUGE thank you to Gabbi and the rest of the volunteers for making this walk happen at the beautiful Finch Park in McKinney, TX! We quite literally could not have done this without all of you!

Let’s continue to spread awareness during OCD week and we look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s OCD Walk!💙

Flashback to the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), offered through the International OCD Foundation, in Minneapolis earlier this month. SOAR’s own, Dr. Molly Martinez, was honored to serve as faculty along with her esteemed colleagues, Rene Reinardy, David Jacoby, Caitlin Claggett Woods, Alec Pollard, and others

The BTTI is a 3-day intensive training attended by licensed therapists, many of whom are on a waitlist for multiple years to attend. SOAR is proud to play a role in educating professionals and expanding access to evidenced-based treatment of OCD.

To learn more about what ERP looks like and why we use it, the has a great overview on their website:
