Jeff Bell Becomes Spokesperson for the OCF
News Anchor to Raise Awareness About OCD and Encourage Treatment
Jeff Bell, a veteran radio news anchor in the San Francisco Bay area, and author of
Rewind, Replay, Repeat; A Memoir of OCD, has become a National Spokesperson for the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation (OCF).
Bell joins Elizabeth McIngvale as an official Spokesperson for the Foundation and its
“What Does OCD Look Like? Me.” Campaign that encourages the millions of people in the United States
who have OCD to seek treatment for the disorder.
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
