OCD Awareness Week

OCD Awareness Week is an initiative by IOCDF to help increase public awareness about OCD.

The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) is sponsoring OCD Awareness Week, which means that organizations around the world are hosting special OCD-related events this week.

South Floridians, we invite you to join us for our monthly support group meeting tonight (10/9/12) at 6:30pm in our Palm Beach Gardens, Florida office.

You might also want to check out some of the amazing OCD Awareness Week events that are hosted online.
