Get Involved with the IOCDF
There are a variety of ways you can get involved with the International OCD Foundation and advocate for the larger OCD community.
Contact Local Media
You can make a difference by spreading the word to your local media about the Anxiety in the Classroom resource. We've created a one-stop Media Center for our advocates to use to make emailing local media as simple as possible. The Media Center has pre-written (and customizable!) emails for you to use along with a full directory of media in your area — all you have to do is enter your zip code!
Become a Grassroots Advocate
We get many requests from members of the OCD community who want to know what they can do to help. Whether it means joining the #OCDWalk each year, speaking at a local Affiliate event, or even blogging about your experiences, being a Grassroots Advocate means joining a community of people who want to raise awareness and educate the public about OCD and related disorders. Become a Grassroots Advocate today!
