How can I join the fight against OCD/anxiety?
Become a Grassroots Advocate
At the IOCDF, we get many requests from members of the OCD/anxiety community who want to know what they can do to help. Whether it means joining the 1 Million Steps 4 OCD Walk 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/anxiety and related disorders. Visit the Grassroots Advocate page to learn more.
