PARTICIPATE IN A RESEARCH STUDY ON MENTAL HEALTH, RACE, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITY
Experiences of racial microaggressions can be challenging for people, and some research has suggested they relate to obsessive compulsive symptoms. The researchers below are seeking to study the frequency of experience of racial microaggressions, obsessive compulsive symptoms, and psychological flexibility. Studying psychological flexibility can help them learn how to support people facing these experiences.
Who is eligible: People who are over age 18 and identify with at least one non-white racial identity.
What is involved: Two brief 10-15 min surveys one month apart. You can choose to participate now and then will be contacted in 1 month for the second survey.
Participants who complete 75% or more of the survey and pass all checks for spam can be entered into a raffle to win one of of 5 $25 gift cards! There will be a raffle for each time point of the survey!

2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear Friends,
Towards the end of 2020, four members of OCD Louisiana’s Board of Directors passed the torch along to new volunteers, resulting in a leadership team bringing us into 2021 with a wider range of perspectives on mental health and who represent additional regions of Louisiana. Our outgoing members, all based in the Greater New Orleans region, tirelessly worked with us from the very beginning and were each essential in bringing OCD Louisiana to fruition. We’d like to extend our deep appreciation to outgoing members Leslie C Higgins, PsyD (Vice President), Melissa Dufrene, PsyD (Secretary), Suzanne Chabaud, PhD (Board Member-at-Large), and Gail F Pesses, MSW, LCSW (Board Member-at-Large). Michele N Carroll, PsyD, who will move from her position as Treasurer to Vice President, and I (continuing in the role of President) are happy to welcome new members Caitlin Bussey, BS of Lafayette (Secretary), Chance McNeely of Baton Rouge (Treasurer), Ashley Rush, MA of Lafayette (Board Member-at-Large), and Ashley Royerre Talley, MS, CCC-SLP of Slidell (Board Member-at-Large), to the Board of Directors of OCD Louisiana.
