Coming Soon! Our New Website!
The office staff has been working for the past several months on designing a new website. The new website will incorporate our new name: International OCD Foundation, along with enhanced search capabilities, improved features, and updated information about OCD and related disorders.
While we are hoping to launch the new website in the next few weeks, we will be introducing new content and features over the next several months. We will be interested in hearing your feedback as we continue the process. Please check back with us soon as more information will be coming out each week.

Public Awareness of OCD
OCF’s first-ever public awareness campaign featuring national spokesperson, Elizabeth McIngvale, began in April 2006, with the national distribution of a Public Service Announcement in both English and Spanish. Since that time, these important announcements have received more than ten million dollars worth of free airtime. And that’s just the beginning.
Public awareness of OCD is an ongoing effort that depends on all of us doing our share to educate family and friends, teachers and legislators, caregivers and colleagues.
If you have a national, or large community event, a gathering of educators, students, or treatment providers, and you would like Elizabeth McIngvale to be a guest speaker, please contact Michael Spigler: mspigler[at]ocfoundation.org
