OCD Awareness Week

[airial95]

I know many of us have been wrapped up in what is happening up at BCH - however, this week is OCD Awareness Week, and another good time to try to get the word out to local outlets on PANS/PANDAS awareness.

 

I have sent another volley of emails off to all of my local news outlets - not the first time I've done so, but maybe with the push of OCD Awareness Week behind it I might get some traction this time.

 

Just a thought!!

Thanks for the reminder. I was going to make some FB posts. It's a good opportunity to raise awareness.

The International OCD Foundation will be sponsoring a number of events to raise awareness - from a silent auction and film screenings to a week of twitter chats and a Paint4Peace event at the zoo.

 

They also ask supporters to donate their Facebook status for the week by posting "OCD Awareness Week, I donate my status in support of anyone who has ever battled this disorder. May they find treatment, comfort and hope. Together we can end the stigma around mental illness. Please copy and paste this as your status to promote the International OCD Foundation’s OCD Awareness Week efforts www.iocdf.org"
