OCD Awareness Week – Southern California Events
What is OCD Awareness Week?
OCD Awareness Week is an international effort taking place during the second week in October each year to raise awareness and understanding about obsessive compulsive disorder and related disorders, with the goal of helping more people get timely access to appropriate and effective treatment. Launched in 2009 by the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation (IOCDF), OCD Awareness Week is now celebrated by a number of organizations across the US and around the world, with events such as OCD screening days, lectures, conferences, fundraisers, online Q&As, and more.
