It’s almost ! What’s your OCD story? Help us spread awareness by joining the campaign by using these tips from International OCD Foundation:

💙Post on social media: Share a photo, video, reel, or story featuring a personal “That’s OCD” example, and use and to join the conversation.
Share your story: Write a blog post, newsletter article, or personal story about an OCD experience people may not recognize and what awareness or diagnosis meant for you.

💙Reach out to local media: Contact a local newspaper, TV station, radio show, or podcast and offer to share your experience with OCD. Use our outreach tool to easily reach your local media.
Take “That’s OCD” into your community: Use our OCDare to Share Guide to start conversations and raise awareness about OCD at your school, workplace, community group, or other organization you’re part of.

💙Start a conversation: Use OCD Awareness Week as an easy way to bring OCD into everyday conversations. Try: “Oh, it’s OCD Awareness Week this week, and we’re sharing all the different ways OCD can show up. Did you know that [replaying conversations over and over / scary intrusive thoughts / constantly asking for reassurance] can be OCD?” Then see where the conversation goes.

💙Amplify the campaign: Share IOCDF graphics, videos, stories, and resources throughout the week to help spread accurate information about OCD to new audiences.
