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 Brogioli: mbrogioli[at]ocfoundation.org
